... measurements. Once the stress history is known, the various modes of soil strength may be estimated through the use of appropriate S values. This paper presents interpretations of piezocone data at 12 separate locations in the Jubilee field development in the Gulf of Guinea. Separate and independent profiles...

... 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...

... penetration tests (PCPT s), seismic cone penetration tests (SCPT s), soil index properties, in situ vertical stress history, and normalized static shear strength properties are presented. The program of dynamic laboratory testing is summarized, and detailed results of the testing are shown. Finally, the field...
