Geotechnical investigation and testing - Laboratory testing of soil - Part 7: Unconfined compression test on fine-grained soil (ISO/TS 17892-7:2004)

This document covers the determination of an approximate value of the unconfined compressive strength for a square or cylindrical water-saturated homogeneous specimen of undisturbed or remoulded cohesive soil of sufficiently low permeability to keep itself undrained during the time it takes to perform the test within the scope of geotechnical investigations according to prEN 1997 1 and  2.
The unconfined compressive strength of cohesive soils is a measure of the apparent cohesion. A cohesive soil behaves as if it is truly cohesive, e.g. clay and clayey soils, but most soils in this group behave cohesively due to negative pore pressure and friction and not due to actual cohesion.
This test method is useful to derive the undrained shear strength of soil. It should however be noted that no provisions are taken to prevent drainage. The derived value for undrained shear strength is therefore only valid for soils of low permeability, which behave sufficiently undrained during testing.
The method is not appropriate for fissured or varved clays or silts or peats.

Geotechnische Erkundung und Untersuchung - Laborversuche an Bodenproben - Teil 7: Einaxialer Druckversuch an feinkörnigen Böden (ISO/TS 17892-7:2004)

Diese Technische Spezifikation legt das Versuchsverfahren zur Bestimmung eines Näherungswertes für die einaxiale Druckfestigkeit eines quadratischen oder zylindrischen, wassergesättigten, homogenen Probe-körpers aus ungestörtem oder aufbereitetem kohäsivem Boden mit ausreichend kleiner Durchlässigkeit fest, um eine Entwässerung der Probe während des Versuchs im Rahmen von geotechnischen Untersuchungen nach ENV 1997-1 und ENV 1997-2 zu verhindern.
Die einaxiale Druckfestigkeit eines kohäsiven Bodens ist ein Maß für die scheinbare Kohäsion. Ein kohäsiver Boden verhält sich, als wäre er tatsächlich kohäsiv, wie z. B. Ton oder tonige Böden. Die meisten Böden dieser Art sind kohäsiv aufgrund des Porenwasserunterdrucks und der Reibung, jedoch nicht aufgrund einer wirklichen Kohäsion.
Dieses Versuchsverfahren kann verwendet werden, um die undränierte Scherfestigkeit von Boden zu bestimmen. Es sollte jedoch darauf hingewiesen werden, dass in diesem Versuch keine Vorkehrungen getroffen werden, eine Entwässerung der Probe zu verhindern. Der aus dem Versuchsergebnis abgeleitete Wert für die undränierte Scherfestigkeit gilt daher nur für Böden mit geringer Durchlässigkeit, die sich hinreichend undräniert während des Versuchs verhalten.
Sie ist für gerissene oder gebänderte Tone und Schluffe sowie Torf nicht geeignet.

Reconnaissance et essais géotechniques - Essais de laboratoire sur les sols - Partie 7: Essai de compression uniaxiale sur des sols fins (ISO/TS 17892-7:2004)

Cette Spécification Technique concerne la détermination d'une valeur approximative de la résistance a la compression uniaxiale d'une éprouvette cylindrique ou cubique, saturée d'eau, de sol cohérent, homogene, non remanié ou remanié, et de perméabilité suffisamment faible pour que l'essai soit effectué en conditions non drainées. L'essai est réalisé dans le domaine d'application des reconnaissances géotechniques conformément aux ENV 1997 parties 1 et 2.
La résistance a la compression uniaxiale d'un sol présentant de la cohésion est une mesure de la cohésion apparente. Un sol présentant de la cohésion se comporte comme s'il était réellement cohérent, comme par exemple les argiles et les sols argileux, bien que le comportement cohérent de la plupart des sols de ce type soit du a une pression interstitielle négative et au frottement, et non a une réelle cohésion.
Cette procédure d'essai peut etre utilisée pour obtenir la résistance au cisaillement non drainé d'un sol. Il convient cependant de rappeler qu'aucune précaution n'est prise pour éviter le drainage. La valeur de la résistance au cisaillement non drainé obtenue n'est ainsi valable que pour les sols de faible perméabilité, qui se comportent en conditions non drainées durant l'essai.
Cette procédure d'essai n'est pas recommandée pour les argiles, limons et tourbes, fissurés ou varvés.

Geotehnično preiskovanje in preskušanje - Laboratorijsko preskušanje zemljin - 7. del: Enoosni tlačni preskus drobnozrnatih zemljin (ISO/TS 17892-7:2004)

Ta dokument zajema ugotavljanje približne vrednosti enoosne tlačne trdnosti kvadratnega ali valjastega z vodo zasičenega homogenega vzorca nespremenjene ali preoblikovane kohezivne zemljine, ki ima dovolj nizko prepustnost, da ostaja nedrenirana med izvedbo preskusa v okviru geotehničnih preiskav v skladu s prEN 1997-1 in -2.  Enoosna tlačna trdnost kohezivnih zemljin je merilo navidezne kohezije. Kohezivna zemljina se obnaša kot resnično kohezivna, npr. glina in glinene zemljine, vendar se večina zemljin v tej skupini obnaša kohezivno zaradi negativnega pornega tlaka in trenja in ne zaradi dejanske kohezije. Ta preskusna metoda je uporabna za ugotavljanje nedrenirane strižne trdnosti zemljine. Opozoriti pa je treba, da ni nobenega ukrepa, ki bi preprečeval drenažo. Dobljena vrednost za nedrenirano strižno trdnost velja torej le za zemljine z nizko prepustnostjo, ki se med preskušanjem obnašajo dovolj nedrenirano. Metoda ni primerna za razpokane ali pasovite gline, mulj in šoto.

1 Scope
This document covers the determination of an approximate value of the unconfined compressive strength for a
square or cylindrical water-saturated homogeneous specimen of undisturbed or remoulded cohesive soil of
sufficiently low permeability to keep itself undrained during the time it takes to perform the test within the scope of
geotechnical investigations according to prEN 1997-1 and -2.
The unconfined compressive strength of cohesive soils is a measure of the apparent cohesion. A cohesive soil
behaves as if it is truly cohesive, e.g. clay and clayey soils, but most soils in this group behave cohesively due to
negative pore pressure and friction and not due to actual cohesion.
This test method is useful to derive the undrained shear strength of soil. It should however be noted that no
provisions are taken to prevent drainage. The derived value for undrained shear strength is therefore only valid for
soils of low permeability, which behave sufficiently undrained during testing.
The method is not appropriate for fissured or varved clays or silts or peats.

4 Equipment
4.1 Loading machine
4.1.1 General
A loading machine for performance of unconfined compression tests (see Figure 1) normally consists of the
following main parts:
a) Top and bottom platen between which the soil specimen is placed;
b) load frame with a drive unit to compress the soil specimen (loading press);
c) load measuring device to measure the force applied to the soil specimen;
d) compression measuring device to measure the axial compression of the specimen.
4.1.2 Loading press
4.1.2.1 The loading press shall have sufficient capacity to load the soil specimen to failure (see 4.1.4.3).
4.1.2.2 The top and the bottom platen shall be designed such that their deformations are negligible compared
to the deformations of the soil specimen, and their diameter shall be so large that no part of the soil specimen
projects beyond them.
4.1.2.3 Both platens may be prevented from tilting as shown in Figure 1, or one platen, usually the top platen,
may be allowed to tilt, but neither of the platens shall be allowed to move horizontally.
