The device has a split oedometer ring, and horizontal stresses are measured using load cells which support one half of the ring. Rapid cyclic loading was applied to compacted soil specimens, using a digital pressure regulator and a computer-based data acquisition system. The performance of the device was validated by performing tests on silicon rubber and Monterey sand.xvii, 362 leavesBTDapplication/pdfenIn CopyrightLD5655.V856 1993.I834Soil stabilizationAt-rest and compaction-induced lateral earth pressures of moist soilsDissertationhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-07122007-103943/
