Abstract
In this paper it is attempted to generate the rise of pore water pressures in undrained strain controlled cyclic triaxial tests for various densities (void ratios), confining pressures and strain amplitudes. The results of cyclic triaxial tests on one type of standard Yugoslav sand are presented. Introducing the Moroto's parameter based on cumulative shear work normalized with confining pressure (Moroto, 1976) and a state parameter defined as a distance between initial void ratio and the steady state line (Been and Jefferies, 1985) the band of the results is narrowed and a single curve for representing the pore water pressure buildup is established. Since the state parameter, opposite of the relative density, is easily measured both in the laboratory and in the field and since Moroto's parameter has evident physical meaning, it is hoped, that this type of laboratory test presentation provide an efficient way of processing and interpreting the test results for various material types.
