ASTM D 4767 - 04 Standard Test Method for Consolidated Undrained Triaxial Compression Test for Cohesive Soils

American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Current edition approved Nov. 1, 2004. Published December 2004. 13 p. This test method covers the determination of strength and stress-strain relationships of a cylindrical specimen of either an undisturbed or remolded saturated cohesive soil. Specimens are isotropically consolidated and sheared in compression without drainage at a constant rate of axial deformation (strain controlled).
This test method provides for the calculation of total and effective stresses, and axial compression by measurement of axial load, axial deformation, and pore-water pressure.
