The shear strength and consolidation behaviour of reconstituted Singapore marine clay

Load history idealisation effects for design of monopiles in clay

“…The aim of the paper is to investigate the difference of clay cyclic behaviour caused by the applied load pattern: the effects of soil reconstitution and disturbance are not investigated under the primes of similar cyclic behaviour for intact soils and reconstituted soils at qualitative level (Andersen et al, 1992). For a real design case, the effects of soil sampling should be considered quantitatively (Fearon & Coop, 2000;Chu et al, 2017;Taukoor et al, 2019). EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH AND PROGRAMS Test apparatus A series of cyclic triaxial tests were performed using the advanced dynamic triaxial testing system (DYNTTS) developed by GDS Instruments and adapted at the NGI Oslo laboratory.…”
