Abstract
Throughout the literature, it is assumed that, apart from certain end effects, a homogeneous state of stress is produced in the triaxial shear test. This point of view appears to have carried over from earlier studies of rocks by Haar and von Karman in 1909. Effects of end plate restraint are a major deviation from the basic assumption of a homogeneous state of stress in a specimen tested by triaxial compression, and appear to constitute a controlling factor in the determination of slenderness ratios. Particle size and the absolute dimensions of test specimens are practical factors which also influence the determination of slenderness ratios. This paper is an effort to summarize existing significant literature applicable to potential standardization of the slenderness ratio of undisturbed and remolded soil specimens for triaxial shear testing
