“…They developed a modified ("flexible") top platen, which theoretically provided an improved stress field within the sample, and they demonstrated that a linear relationship existed between total volume change under some incremental load increase and actual sample volume, not rod diameter, as had been proposed by Roscoe et al (1963).…”

“…Noting correctly that the assumption of isotropic behavior is unrealistic, Roscoe et al (1963) proposed a second method for evaluating compliance by placing brass rods coaxially in 38.1 mm diameter triaxial specimens as illustrated schematically in Fig. 2n Frydman et al 1973).…”

Several alternative approaches have been suggested for evaluation and correction of the testing errors caused by membrane compliance. The degree to which membrane compliance may affect the results of an undrained test is a function of the soil grain size and overall geometry of the test specimen, as well as specimen density and range of effective confining stresses during a given test. Membrane-compliance effects may be negligible for fine sands and silts tested in conventional 71 mm diameter samples, since even very thin membranes cannot penetrate significantly into the small surficial voids. For medium to coarse sands and gravels, however, membrane-compliance effects may have a significant influence on test results. The scope of this paper is threefold: firstly, to review, examine, and evaluate the variety of methods to measure and characterize membrane compliance; secondly, to develop an improved understanding of the factors affecting membrane compliance; and thirdly, to provide an enhanced, updated, and expanded correlation for estimating membrane compliance characteristics as a function of material grain size for a range of soil types, including a wide range of gradation types and representative grain sizes from silts through gravels.

“…Furthermore, membrane penetration depends strongly on the lateral effective stress. Several investigations (Roscoe et al, 1963;Frydman et al, 1973) indicated that the compression curve affected by membrane penetration is steeper. Consequently, the slope of the oedometer compression curve should be lower than that of the isotropic consolidation test affected by membrane penetration.…”
