Yes I was going to saturate by maintaining a small effective stress and increasing the cell pressure and back pressure and using the B-value to check. I am broadly using the BS1377 methodology. No-one here has done this before so really don't know how long it will take. Samples have permeability...
Hi,
I am trying to estimate the saturation time of very stiff over-consolidated 100mm triaxial samples. I have heard that 38mm triaxial samples can take 2-4 weeks. Any thoughts?
Thanks.
