The fifteenth century English Stonor letters : a revised text with notes, a glossary and a collation of those letters edited by C.L. Kingsford in 1919 and 1924

Theoretical and experimental investigations have been carried out to study the influence of stress path on the deformation and consolidation of over-consolidated clays - with particular emphasis on London clay - in relation to settlement of structures. It is shown that for a proper understanding of...

description	Theoretical and experimental investigations have been carried out to study the influence of stress path on the deformation and consolidation of over-consolidated clays - with particular emphasis on London clay - in relation to settlement of structures. It is shown that for a proper understanding of the deformation of a soil beneath a foundation the soil should be tested in the laboratory under the same set of effective stresses that it will undergo in the field and that the influence of lateral stresses canot be ignored. The stresses and displacements in non-homogeneous soil media, beneath circular and strip footings, have been calculated from Gibson's analytical solutions. A numerical method is suggested for determining the "immediate" (elastic) settlement of structures founded on a medium whose modulus of elasticity varies with depth. The influence of lateral stressesonthe deformation characteristics of undisturbed London clay has been studied from both oedometer and triaxial tests while the stress path for one-dimensional compression is determined from specially designed oedometers.
