Cyclic response of Gulf of Mexico clay from the Walker Ridge
A significant number of offshore, nearshore and onshore structures are founded on soft clays. Both the structure and the foundation soft clay generally must withstand a combination of non-standard cyclic environmental loads, gravity loads and seismic loads. The importance of these structures, be it …

Normalized mechanical properties of resedimented Gulf of Mexico clay from Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition Leg 308
… were recovered from the Ursa Basin in the Gulf of Mexico. Post-cruise geotechnical testing found these samples to be highly disturbed due to the sampling process. This research will determine mechanical properties of laboratory Resedimented samples created using recovered Leg 308 sediment. …

Engineering properties of Resedimented Ugnu Clay from the Alaskan North Slope
… research determined the engineering properties of laboratory Resedimented Ugnu Clay (RUC) specimens created using recovered material from 3800 ft below the surface of the Alaskan Northern Slope to aid with future petroleum exploration. Thirteen constant rate of strain (CRS) tests were performed …

Fracture characterization of clays and clay-like materials using flattened Brazilian Test
… for many years to study the mechanical behavior of brittle and quasi-brittle materials like concrete, rock, wood, and ceramics. To date, the application of fracture mechanics to soils has been limited to dry and partially saturated soils where soil consistency changes due to suction and tends to …
