Abstract
Remolded granular soils were loaded in a standard consolidometer, where the prestress load was first released, then reapplied in an incremental manner. Deformation and AE were monitored during this reloading process. As the load equivalent to the originally applied preconsolidation pressure was exceeded, both deformation and AE increased markedly. The original prestress was easily detectable by both methods. Separate tests were performed on five different granular soils, each at four different saturation levels and for four different prestress conditions. Eighty (80) tests were performed in total. Results show that both deformation and AE predicted the originally applied preconsolidation pressure to within about 5% error, the exception being AE at the lowest value of prestress, which was somewhat higher.--Modified journal abstract.
