Evolution of Preconsolidation Pressure of Normally Consolidated Clays Over Full Temperature Range
… can change the preconsolidation pressure of clays, the current understanding is limited to specific ranges of temperatures, with temperatures above freezing being studied entirely independently of temperatures below freezing. However, as temperature is a continuous domain and clays may be …

Għadira sands as compared to normally consolidated deposits at Marsa (Ta’ Ċeppuna) : using static triaxial tests
… for which such sands tend to behave like over consolidated clays. On the contrary, the response of alluvial deposits is similar to that of normally consolidated clays. For the alluvial deposits, it was generally observed that as the confining pressures were increased, dilatant tendencies were …

Factors Influencing the Post-Earthquake Shear Strength
Although clays are generally considered stable materials under seismic conditions, recent failures initiated in clay layers after earthquakes have emphasized the need to study the cyclic and post-cyclic behavior of these materials. Moreover, if strength loss as a result of cyclic loading were to …

Use and Measurement of Fully Softened Shear Strength
… the peak drained shear strength of a clay in a normally consolidated state. All the experience available on the applicability of the fully softened shear strength for slopes is based on back-analyses. Back-analyses of first-time failures in cuts in stiff-fissured clays and embankments …
