Interpreting T-bar tests in ultra-soft clay

This technical note describes a simple methodology for reliably measuring the undrained strength of ultra-soft consolidating clay in the geotechnical centrifuge, using the T-bar penetrometer. This methodology relies on the T-bar resistance force owing to soil strength being equal, albeit in the oppo...
