Title: EFFECTS OF SWELLING CAUSED BY UNLOADING IN OVERCONSOLIDATED CLAYS. PROCEEDINGS OF THE ELEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOIL MECHANICS AND FOUNDATION ENGINEERING, SAN FRANCISCO, 12-16 AUGUST 1985
Abstract: Effects of swelling have been investigated by unloading two heavily overconsolidated natural clays at very low stress, both in one dimensional and isotropic tests. The response of the swelling soils is examined with respect to their compressibility and failure characteristics. The behaviour of the clays subjected to swelling is compared with the one shown by remoulded reconstituted samples from the same material. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 287689.
