Pore pressure dissipation tests were carried out employing two miniature piezocones, with areas of 1 cm2 and 5 cm2, in a bed of reconstituted kaolin. By using independently determined values of the coefficient of consolidation, the results were inter

Biogenic gas is produced and contained in fine-grained soils in environments such as river estuaries and landfill sites. Planning dredging operations or predicting the volume capacity of a landfill requires information about the amount of gas that ca

In the Netherlands large quantities of polluted mud must be stored in large-scale disposal sites. The storage capacity of these sites and the outflow of contaminated pore water can be predicted by means of one-dimensional finite strain theory. By mak

The extraction and processing of most mineral ores results in the generation of large volumes of fine-grained residue or tailings. The safe disposal of such material, which generally exhibits slow rates of sedimentation and consolidation, is of prime

When a piezocone is driven into the ground, pore water pressures are set up as a result of the stress changes. The dissipation of these pore pressures occurs in the subsequent con-solidation process in a manner dependent on the initial stress distrib

The aim of this paper is to report data from piezocone dissipation tests in order to evaluate current theoretical interpretation methods for the determination of consolidation parameters. Three independent sets of data are examined from both field an

This Paper presents observations of the development of A',,, the coefficient of lateral earth pressure at rest, in a soft kaolin undergoing one-dimensional consolidation up to 150 kPa. A consolidometer with flush diaphragm transducers was linked to a

The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of the physical behaviour of a seabed containing undissolved gas in the light of laboratory simulations undertaken at Oxford, Belfast and Sheffield Universities. This physical behaviour is significa

The one-dimensional consolidation behaviour of Bothkennar clay has been examined by testing high quality intact and reconstituted specimens recovered using the Laval sampler. The collaborative test programme consisted of incremental load, constant ra

An extensive programme of research into the influence of undissolved gas bubbles on the behaviour of fine-grained onshore soils is reviewed. The programme has been based on the development of a laboratory technique for the preparation of reconstitute
