Estimation of material properties: input data<br />

Given 3 drained triaxial test results for 3 confining pressures:<br />

σ 3 = 100 kPa<br />

σ 3 = 300 kPa<br />

σ 3 = 600 kPa<br />

Shear characteristics q − ε 1<br />

Dilatancy characteristics ε v − ε 1<br />

Stress paths in p − q plane<br />

Measurements of <strong>small</strong> <strong>strain</strong> <strong>stiffness</strong> moduli E o (σ 3 ) for the<br />

assumed confining pressures (through direct measurement of<br />

shear wave velocity in the sample)<br />
