Reliability of Methods for Determination of Stress History Parameters in Soils
Małgorzata Wdowska,

Abstract:Stress history acquired by any cohesive soil influences, to a large extent, three groups of fundamental properties indispensable in geotechnical design i.e. state of soil, shear strength, and stiffness characteristics. The basic stress history parameter (from which other parameters are derived) determined directly from laboratory tests is a preconsolidation stress σ′
p. Since the first method proposed by Casagrande in 1936, value σ′
p is determined in the oedometer test as a… Show more
