Abstract
Conventional testing procedures produce scatter and bias in indicated properties of soils, such as desiccated clays. This paper describes and compares several conventional and non-conventional methods for characterizing the engineering properties of such soils at a site in Houston, Texas. Properties considered include undrained shear strength, stress-deformation moduli, earth pressure coefficients, and compression indexes. Similarities and differences between soil preconsolidated by desiccation and by stress removal are noted.
