Summary "The multi-stage test is a procedure by which a soil's shear strength parameters can be evaluated by the use of a single sample of the material. The object of the investigation is to evaluate to what extent multi-stage testing can be used on a cohesionless material. Three types of tests, using conventional and multi-stage procedures are evaluated. They are: direct shear/consolidated drained, triaxial compression/consolidated drained and triaxial compression/consolidated undrained shear tests. It was found that multi-stage testing can easily be performed and the shear strength parameter theta[subscript f] obtained from these tests are in good agreement with those obtained from the conventional shear tests. Only fair to poor agreement was found for dilatancy, void ratio at failure and strain at failure. Five different testing procedures were used in the direct shear/consolidated drained/multi-stage testing and it was found that the results of these tests depend upon the procedure used"--Abstract, leaf ii.
