Abstract:

ONE PORTION OF THE Soil Dynamics Research effort during the past year is described. Included are 1 A general discussion of the stress-strain relationship for particulate masses 2 Specifications for the preparation of fat, backswamp clay samples by static compaction 3 Data concerning creep, using a load rise-time of 30 millisec 4 Description of a preliminary attempt to measure pore pressures during compression creep 5 Data concerning the sonic dilitational wave velocity in a core of soft clay and 6 Description of a preliminary attempt to measure the sonic dilitational wave velocity in a soft clay sample during consolidation.
