Engineering Properties and Practice in Overconsolidated Clays
The properties of overconsolidated clays are affected by initial stress state, anisotropy, stress history, strain history, mineralogy, aging, fabric, degree of fissuring, geochemistry of the pore fluid, and numerous other factors. Because of the uncertainties associated with assessing soil properties. The TRB Committee on Soil and Rock Properties has been interested in better means and mechanisms for quantifying the characteristics of overconsolidated clays. This volume contains 13 technical papers that address some of the major facets associated with the engineering evaluation of these natural materials. The first six papers address the general conduct of sampling and testing of overconsolidated clays and the remaining seven present case study examples involving site characterization and engineering problems associated with specific local geologic formations in the United States. The authors of these papers come from all corners of the continental United States and therefore provide a representative compilation of practices and methods in use.
