Abstract
The undrained behaviour of a natural clayey sand from the site of the Gullfaks C oil production platform in the North Sea is described. The material shows significant undrained brittleness in triaxial compression and extension. Variables that are examined include : clay content, granular void ratio and consolidation history. The behaviour of the natural clayey sand is compared to that of a model soil formed from Ham river sand and kaolin. Differences in response are ascribed to differences in grading between the two materials.
