Oedometer test

In this study, a series of one-dimensional oedometer laboratory creep tests were conducted on samples subjected to cyclic loading in order to study the effect of overconsolidation ratio (OCR) and duration of preloading on the secondary consolidation coefficient of the soft clay.

This paper presents the experimental study on onedimensional compressibility behavior, soil water characteristic and soil shrinkage behavior of slurry Amberger kaolin. Soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) (Sr-ψ) was determined using conjunction between SWCC (w-ψ) and soil shrinkage curve (w-e).

A retaining wall constructed on expansive soil can be subjected to lateral swelling pressures due to soil swelling, which may cause a significant horizontal deformation and bending of the retaining wall. In Australia, it is generally assumed that the backfill behind a retaining wall is non-expansive material. Therefore lateral swelling pressures induced by expansive soils are ignored in routine design.
