Experimental Investigation into Multistage versus Conventional Triaxial Compression Tests for a c-phi Soil

The procedure for conventional triaxial compression (CTC) test requires three separate soil specimens to be examined to failure under different confining pressures so that Mohr-Coulomb (or stress path) failure envelope can be determined and soil shear strength parameters can be obtained. An alternat...
