The effects of sample disturbance on preconsolidation pressure for normally consolidated and overconsolidated clays
… history and undrained shear strength of soft clays are well stated in the literature over the past decades. However, in practice, few qualitative methods are used even in the most complex engineering projects. Furthermore, there is not a widely accepted, quantitative method in order to assess …

A constitutive model for overconsolidated clays with application to the cyclic loading of friction piles
Thesis (Sc. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1987.

Analysis of consolidation around driven piles in overconsolidated clay
… the behavior of piles driven in highly overconsolidated clays (OCR24). The skin friction mobilized during pile loading to failure depends on the sequence of preceding events, i.e. pile installation and soil consolidation. This research utilizes the Strain Path Method (SPM) to simulate …

Ground source heat storage and thermo-physical response of soft clay
… fluctuations and possibly deformation of soft clays. This thesis evaluates the thermo-mechanical response of soft clays to seasonal heat storage and associated temperature fluctuations. A literature review reveals that, in normally consolidated to lightly overconsolidated clays, increases in …

Analysis and behavior of preexisting landslides
The selection of shear strength parameters for the design and repair of landslide is important and difficult. Skempton (1964) concludes that if a failure has already occurred in clayey soils, any subsequent movement along the preexisting slip surface will be controlled by the drained residual …
