General remarks

This database comprises all tests described in the two companion papers

The raw data of each test or each test series can be downloaded separately. The complete data base can be downloaded from SoilModels.

For each cyclic test you will find two files containing the data versus time or versus the number of cycles, respectively.

Note: There was a mistake in the values of effective mean pressure p in the data of the series of undrained monotonic tests (TMU). It has been corrected on 07.09.2018.
