TENSION CRACKS IN SATURATED CLAY CUTTINGS. PROCEEDINGS OF THE ELEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOIL MECHANICS AND FOUNDATION ENGINEERING, SAN FRANCISCO, 12-16 AUGUST 1985

When analyzing the stability of clay cuttings the occurrence of tension cracks must be considered. In this paper a simple procedure is described to determine the maximum depth of tension cracks for the undrained as well as the drained condition. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 287689. (Author/TRRL)
