Nottingham Centre for Geomechanics GEOTECHNICAL ANALYSIS Example Example 1 Soils are often tested using a triaxial apparatus on a cylindrical soil sample. In this test, the directions of the vertical (axial) and horizontal (radial) stresses coincide with the directions of the principal stresses. The two horizontal stresses are equal (see Figure Q.1). Figure Q.1 Assume that in a triaxial test, the following principal stresses were applied: Note that a tensile positive notation is used here. It is assumed that the values of Youngs Modulus and Poissons ratio are 10,000 kPa and 0.3 respectively
