In this paper is presented the analysis on the results of a series of lab tests on Osaka clay situated from 100 m to 1500 m under the ground. The wave velocity method, bender element method, LDT and the formula derived by the authors are used, focus is put on the pre-failure mechanical behavior of the clay. The analysis shows that, (i) pore-pressure coefficient B is less than 1.0, (ii) the relationship between shear modulus and Poisson's ratio is not in agreement with that reported before, (iii) the modulus measured with LDT is still less than that measured with bender element method, and (iv) there are two threshold strains, within which the clay can be considered as elastic, and both of them are larger than that reported before.展开更多

The experimental setup was specially designed, as well as test point location, parameters and procedures, and the main influencing factors were analyzed affecting riverbank failure based on the failure types, the variations of pore water pressure and soil displacement. The results indicated that the coupling effect has different influences on the bank failure in three aspects： the failure type, the process and the extent. In addition, the river flow played a more important role than the seepage flow in the coupling effect on the bank failure.展开更多
