Abstract
A new method is described by which the total lateral stress in cohesive soils can be measured. When used in combination with pore pressure measurements, the lateral effective stress, the stress change, and the coefficient of lateral earth pressure at rest, K0, can be calculated. The basic concept of the earth pressure cell and its installation, as described in this report, are simple.
