832040 CONSOLIDATION OF SENSITIVE CLAYS Poorooshasb~ H B; Law, K T; Bozozuk, M Proc lOth International Conference on Soll Mechanics and Four~ation Engineering, Stockholm, 15-19 June 1981, VI, P219-223. Publ Rotterdam: A. A. Ba]_kema, 1981 The mode of deformation of a sensitive clay subjected to stress levels higher than the critical stress is described mathematically. At stress levels above the critical stress, now called overstress, the rate of clay deformation is directly ~oportional to the magnitude of overstress and the instantaneous value of void ratio. Experimental work, by means of a modified consolidation cell, is described that demonstrates the validity of the postulated model, and indicates how the required parameters are derived. Auth. 832041

Publ Rotterdam: A. A. Ba/_kema, 1981 The chamge in density of peat during consolidation decides its strength perameter in the limit state. The changes are a result of the decrease in free water and adsorbed water. The amounts of both types of water during consolidation was determined by lab tests. The change in density modifies the mechanical l~roperties of the peat, and this improvement in the cohesion should be taken into account for calculations of bearing capacity of the peat.
during cyclic loading. In terms of surface response, degradation has little effect in the case of low-level excitation. With high-level excitations, however, degradation causes lower surface spectral response in the shorter period range, and the differer~e is of the sa~e order as that from different soil models. 832044 REFLECTION AND REFRACTION OF SEIS.~IC WAVEs INCIDENT OBLIQUELY AT THE BCXTNDARY OF A LIQUIDSATURATED POROUS SOLID Hairs, S; Mukhopadhyay, A Bull Seismol Soc Am, V72, N5, Oct 1982, P15091533 The amplitude and energy ratios of the reflected and refracted waves have been calculated thenretically, and from lab tests using waves propagatlng through granite ard becoming incident on the bourdary between the granite and oilsaturated sandstone. It was found that the amplitudes of the reflected and refracted waves deper~ed significantly on the angle of incidence.

(IN m ~ ) This paper applies the thec~y of finite strain consolidation to sedlmenting marine deposits. The theery is nonlinear and takes account of the variations of permeability amd compressibility as consolidation ~roceeds. The selfweight of the sediment is an integral part of the thec~y. No restrictions are placed on the strains developed during consolidation. A comparison is made between finite strain consolidation of a sedimenting marine clay and a comparable linear, infinitesimal strain theory. Auth.
