Synopsis The Paper describes briefly the plane strain apparatus developed at Imperial College, London, and the techniques employed to prepare and test specimens of sand. The characteristics of Brasted sand sheared under plane strain conditions are described and it is noted that the value of the intermediate principal stress in plane strain is considerably less than one-half the sum of the other two principal stresses. The drained strengths of Brasted sand in plane strain compression tests are compared with strengths measured in triaxial tests at the same placement density. The strength-density curves have the same general shape but the plane strain strengths are always higher, the differences in strength increasing progressively from about ½° in loose sand to more than 4° in the densest specimens tested. On the other hand, triaxial compression and extension tests agree approximately to a common strength-density curve. The ultimate strengths measured in plane strain compression tests are constant, irrespec...
