ABSTRACT

With tan/3 = —0.65 (from fig. 2.3) and el = —1 (the value of 1E11 is im -

material, as sand is considered as rate independent) we obtain E2 = 0.825, i.e.

7 —1 0 0 \ D = 0 0.825 0

0 0 0.825 I

vs. 1E l curve for El = 4% is

0(a1M2) = 1.4 A(—Ei)

OQl = 1.4x2 0(—El) or Ao-i/At = —1.4o20ci/At

6-1 = —1.40-2ei

With ei = —1 we obtain

T=

= —140, thus

T2 = T3 = —100 kN/m2. The kinematical boundary conditions of an oedometric test (D2 = D3 = 0) imply axial symmetry with T2 = T3 and T2 = T3.
