Model Plate-Load Tests on Collapsible Soil

Several factors influencing the wetting-induced collapse (hydrocompression) of alluvium soils are investigated by oedometer and plate load tests. Factors include wetting period, staged loading duration, plate size, overburden pressure, and soil thickness. Circular plates of 5 cm and 7 cm diameters w...
