Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theoretical considerations concerning the effect of end restraint on the strength of soil in triaxial tests are briefly discussed herein. The theoretical aspects are supplemented by a review of all laboratory tests data available to the writer. Most of the data pertain to static drained tests on sands. There are also data from static undrained tests on saturated clays. A lesser amount of previously unpublished data from the writer's files on static and cyclic loading undrained tests on saturated sands are also included. The theoretical considerations and the available data are all consistent within themselves in demonstrating and explaining the significant conclusions which follow directly from basic considerations of the behavior of soil under various loading conditions. End restraints, such as are found in most ordinary triaxial test equipment, prevent lateral strains at the ends of the specimen and thereby lead to nonuniformities and concentrations in the stresses and strains throughout the specimen. As a result, volume changes in soils which dilate strongly when sheared will be affected. If tested undrained, this will be reflected by variations in pore pressure from that associated with uniform stress and strain distributions throughout.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Although the triaxial compression test is presently the most widely used procedure for determining strength and stress-deformation properties of soils, there have been no books published on triaxial testing since the 1962 second edition of the landmark work The Measurement of Soil Properties in the Triaxial Test by Bishop and Henkel. It is apparent there is a need to document advances made in triaxial testing since publication of Bishop and Henkel's book and to examine the current state of the art in a forum devoted solely to triaxial testing. Because of increasing versatility brought about by recent developments in testing techniques and equipment, it is also important that the geotechnical profession be provided with an up-to-date awareness of potential uses for the triaxial test."--Overview.

This book was released on 1973 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A finite element computer code called WESTES was developed to study the influences of laboratory testing equipment on the states of stress and strain induced in cylindrical specimens of earth media. The code can solve general static, axisymmetric, boundary value problems and is programmed to take an incremental, nonlinear constitutive model called the Variable Moduli Model II. Some of the special features of the code include the ability to simulate cyclic (load/unload/reload) laboratory tests using iterative treatments at the load/unload and unload/reload interfaces and special logic to separately handle loading and unloading in the volumetric and deviatoric stress components as dictated by the constitutive model.

This book was released on 2009-11-28 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural hazards events such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions involve activation of coupled thermo-hydro-chemo-mechanical processes in rocks. The present book assembles unpublished contributions to the 7th Euro-Conference on Rock Physics and Geomechanics, held in 2007 in Erice, Italy. It presents new laboratory data, theoretical and numerical rock physics models and field observations relevant to the study of natural hazards. In particular, several papers are devoted to rock failure and explore the relationship between the competing deformation micro-mechanisms. Several others investigate shear-induced anisotropy of mechanical and/or transport properties, both in large-scale geologic objects and in laboratory samples. The remaining papers treat various aspects of rock physics and their industrial applications such as geothermics and reservoir characterization.
