CONT

[Dans l'] "Essai consolidé non drainé" [le] mode opératoire ressemble beaucoup à celui décrit (...) pour l'essai CD. On consolide l'échantillon à une pression (...) en permettant son drainage, puis on isole les pierres poreuses, et on applique le déviateur de contrainte. On utilise ici les pressions moyennes totales et non les pressions effectives, puisqu'il y a eau interstitielle contenue.

CONT

(...) l'essai consolidé-non drainé, noté CU avec mesure de la pression interstitielle U, réalisable seulement à l'appareil triaxial.
