| Description: | Miscellaneous Paper Partial Abstract: The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of changing certain test parameters associated with establishment of the critical void ratio using the monotonic triaxial R test. The parameters investigated include the effect of specimen size, method of loading (ramp or step function), and end platens. The parameters which are usually held constant in the routine performance of critical void ratio determinations were investigated to determine their effect on the critical void ratio curve which is used to predict the liquefaction potential of a cohesionless material. |
