Hi all, sorry for the wall of text but I was wondering if someone could “fact check” my understanding of what is happening in a CU test… Sample is saturated with back pressure and B value confirmed with cell pressure (undrained). Sample is then consolidated, initial effective stress is 0 as the...- harrohb

Pore pressure response during CIU test
Hi all, I have what I believe is a pretty trivial question about PWP response during CIU testing So at the end of the saturation stage, your B value should be >0.95 so that any increase in the cell pressure is met by a pretty much equal response in pore water pressure, all good.
