| Abstract | Consolidation tests on a soft marine clay formation indicated that it was normally consolidated when the tests were performed on cores obtained with a 2-in.-diameter (54- mm) tube sampler and overconsolidated by 0.16 tons/ft[2] (kg/ cm[2]) when the tests were performed on cores obtained with a 5-in.-diameter (124-mm) tube sampler. From comparative tests on 20, 40, and 60-cm[2] test specimens trimmed from a block of stiff overconsolidated marine clay, the maximum preconsolidation pressures were measured on the 40-cm[2] size. Storing the block sample in a humid room at 55 F for one and a half years decreased the measured preconsolidation pressure. Coating the consolidometer rings with Teflon and molybdenum-disulphide-based grease was effective in reducing side friction. |
