... the measurements of electrical resistivity ( ρ b ) and shear wave velocity ( V S ) of a soil sample. This is used to measure ρ b and V S of a silica sand. A triaxial system is used to saturate and consolidate the sand sample. Results show that while effective stress has a significant effect on V S , ρ b...

... into consideration. This work is a part of a joint research programme between the Labora- toire 3SR (Grenoble Institute of Technology) and Imperial College London. The programme is con- cerned with the effects of time and cycles on dis- placement pile behaviour in silica sand. The work contributes to the industrial...
