Comparative behaviour of an undisturbed clay under triaxial and plane strain conditions

Many field problems in soils approximate plane strain conditions. Conventional laboratory practice, however, consistently uses triaxial compression testing for evaluating strength and deformation properties of soils. Possible differences between triaxial and plane strain behaviour of natural soils h...
