Assessment of the Behaviour of Field Soils during Compression
TLDR
In this paper, a new approach to assess the compactive nature of soils is proposed based on results from plate sinkage tests in conjunction with those from confined compression tests, which provides information on the strength of soil and the way in which soils behave under load.About:

Soil precompression stress: II a comparison of different compaction tests and stress-displacement behaviour of the soil during wheeling
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare precompression stresses derived from different compression test methods and relate these values to measured stress and displacement during wheeling in the field, and demonstrate that the pre-compression stress is not a sharp value but depends on the compression test method and its analysis.

A model of strain localization in porous sandstone as a function of tectonic setting, burial and material properties; new insight from Provence (southern France)

TL;DR: In this paper, the analysis of three cataclastic band sets from Provence (France) reveals that the band density, their conjugate angles, their ratio of shear displacement to compaction and the amount of cataclasis within the bands differ and can be expressed as functions of tectonic setting and petrophysical properties.

Soil compaction and soil tillage - studies in agricultural soil mechanics
TL;DR: In this article, a model for predicting the distribution of stress below tyres using readily available tyre parameters is proposed, with a more realistic approximation of the stress distribution at the soil surface, simulated stresses generally agreed well with measured stresses.
Triaxial behaviour of ballast and the role of confining pressure under cyclic loading
TL;DR: In this article, a series of large-scale, high-frequency, drained, cyclic triaxial tests were conducted to examine the deformation (permanent and resilient) and degradation response of railway ballast.
