| Abstract | This thesis presents the results of an experimental
investigation into the yielding behaviour of undisturbed
samples of weathered Bangkok clay taken from Don Muang
Airport site. Anisotropically consolidated drained and
undrained triaxial tests, both in compression and in
extension under stress-controlled condition were carried
out.
A yield locus for volumetric and shear strains is established for the weathered clay which separates the states for which the strains are small from those for which the strains are large. The experimental yield curve is
compared with the yield curves determined for different types of soft clays as reported by LARSSON and SALLFORS
(1981). The experimentally observed stress-strain behavior
is compared with predictions from some of the models of clay
behavior. |
