- Description
- Some u₂ and some DMT dissipation test data, measured at the Ballina soft clay test site, are compared. The DMT tests are evaluated using the Flex method which is based on the assumption that the t50 is related to the inflexion point of the total stress-time curve. The u₂ dissipation tests are evaluated by two previously suggested, mathematically-precise methods and by the Teh-Houlsby method. Results show that the testing time can be considerably reduced by applying the mathematically-precise methods.
