... yield, stress. The preconsolidation stress is defined as the maximum past stress physically and/or mechanically applied to the soil, representing the demarcation between normally consolidated (NC) and overconsolidated (OC) states. This paper presents an assessment of the preconsolidation stress...

... Abstract We explore the relation of stress history and failure mechanics of sediments from the Ursa Basin, Gulf of Mexico using direct simple shear experiments. We consolidated specimens to different preconsolidation stresses via load-increment consolidation; then sheared each specimen under...
