.... The strength values of the in-situ vane are compared with strength results from triaxial tests, laboratory vane, and Torvane tests. These data are also correlated with in-situ test results obtained with the piezocone penetrometer. The in-situ vane shear strength data show a small scatter, and good agreement...

... In this paper, an in-situ experiment under lateral static, cyclic, and dynamic loadings, on a large sized steel pipe pile in soft silty clay on the downstream of the Yangtze River and static and dynamic triaxial tests on soil samples in the laboratory are described, and the pile-soil interaction...

... It is difficult to obtain enough undisturbed submarine samples from a particular location to carry out triaxial compression tests in the conventional manner using three samples at three different cell pressures. Multistage triaxial tests offer an attractive means for determining shear strength...
