How Does Backpressure Works?
Elevated pore water pressure can squeeze on the trapped air bubbles and make them decrease in sizeElevated pore water pressure would make the trapped air more likely to dissolve in water
Some would apply a small hydraulic gradient to help flush out the air during the saturation process

For normally consolidated clay, when (σ1-σ3) reaches maximum, its shear strength has not been fully mobilized yet the shear strength is still increasingFor overconsolidated clay, although the shear strength has been fully mobilized, (σ1-σ3)keeps increasing due to the increase of effective confining stress the difference is not as significant as for N.C. clay

Steady-State Strength
The steady-state deformation for any mass of particles is that the state in which the mass is continuously deforming at constant volume, constant normal effective stress, constant shear stress, and constant velocity

Grain Size
Diameter of specimens should be at least 6 x (largest particle size)Can use specimens with the same shape of particle distribution curve for testingAlso they have to have the same relative densityφ increases as average effective stress increases and as max. particle size decreases

Direct Shear Test
Direct shear is a “plane strain” test higher friction angleThe stress on the failure plane is not uniform, not all parts reached peak stress at “failure”
