What is it about?
Improved laboratory techniques to determine Critical and Steady State Lines in Granular Soils

Why is it important?
The proposed techniques will avoid gross mistake in the definition of limit state, particularly Important for Critical State approaches in earth structures
Perspectives
Critical State theory is increasingly used for Soil instability processes, such as liquefaction (static or cycling), demanding for the evaluation of state parameters or indices. The right techniques to define the ultimate or critical state loccus are decisive, replying on good riaxial test procedures. Simple but very effective procedures are proposed to have representative and reliable results for geotechnical design and monitoring of dams, embankments, foundations, etc
