Laboratory investigation of the pre- and post-cyclic volume change properties of Sherman Island peat

We investigate through laboratory testing the volume change characteristics of peaty organic soil from Sherman Island, California under static conditions (consolidation, secondary compression) and post-cyclic conditions. Incremental consolidation tests indicate the material to be highly compressible...
