Abstract In a previous chapter the main principles of triaxial tests have been presented. For simplicity it was assumed that the material was dry soil, so that there were no pore pressures, and the effective stresses were equal to the applied stresses. In reality, especially for clay soils, the sample usually contains water in its pores, and loading the soil may give rise to the development of additional pore pressures. The influence of these pore pressures will be described in this chapter.
