Abstract
This research investigated the pre-failure stress-strain behavior of cohesive soils through an ex.tensive testing program conducted on Resedimented Boston Blue Clay (RBBC). The uniformity and reproducibility in the behavior of this soil permitted a detailed study of the role of the following factors on both initial stiffness and small strain (Ea
