Influences of Specimen Geometry and Loading Rate on Compressive Strength of Unstabilized Compacted Earth Block

Loading rate and specimen geometry are critical parameters used in simple compressive tests to determine the strength of earth materials. In this study, cubic and cylindrical unstabilized compacted earth block of different sizes were manufactured and tested in unconfined compression to investigate t...
