..., with the accumulations of water being around 1cm on both sides of the sample. It is theorised that this oc- curred because the gas forced water out the sample as it was released from the zeolite while, at the same time, the sample increased in height. 103 (a) (b) (c) (d) Figure 4: Consolidation curves for soft clay...

... to a sphere for which the soil mechanics is quite well behaved (Randolph et al., 2000). This permits a more rigor- ous assessment of dynamic penetration effects. Data from lake tests in which a substantially solid steel sphere dynamically embedded very soft clay after freefall in water are presented. The data...

... ABSTRACT Centrifuge tests were performed to investigate the cyclic response of piles in soft clay under lateral loads. Typical data are presented and discussed. The accumulation of pile-head displacements and maximum bending moments with number of cycles in particular are examined. Power law...

... and at in situ temperature) on eight different types of soft clay are presented here, covering intact and remoulded specimens with the range of plasticity of 16–120%. This study quantifies the temperature effects on testing and storing of deepwater samples. The investigated soil parameters concentrate...

... in soft clay, involving measurements of shear wave velocity, Vs, using bender elements and soil suction, ur. It is found that the quality of samples indicated by Vs and ur measurements are independently similar to those inferred from anisotropically consolidated undrained triaxial (CAUC) and oedometer...

... the focus of research and testing of deepwater very soft clay to improve the understanding of pipe-soil response. Sands are generally considered to be better understood than cohesive soils. Guideline for pipe-soil interaction associated with SCR design have been developed from the findings of STRIDE JIP...
