As　one　of　the　major　laboratory　test　methods,　the　triaxial　test　are　often　performed　to　gain　the　strength　and　stress　and　strain　behaviors　of　soils.　There　are　two　great　important　factors　during　consolidation　process　of　the　triaxial　test,　i.　e.　the　dissipation　of　pore　pressure　and　the　completion　status　of　the　consolidation,　which　determine　the　conduct　of　the　following　shear　process.　Based　on　equal　strain　assumptions,　an　analytical　solution　is　presented　to　analyse　the　pore　pressure　and　the　consolidation　degree　throughout　the　drainage　consolidation　process　of　the　triaxial　test.　According　to　the　laboratory　triaxial　consolidated　drained　(CD)　test,　the　pore　pressure　and　the　consolidation　degree　of　the　drainage　consolidation　process　are　checked　by　using　the　analytical　solution.　The　comparative　results　show　that　the　two　curves　calculated　by　the　analytical　solution,　including　the　curve　of　consolidation　degree　and　the　curve　of　pore　pressure　dissipation,　are　in　good　agreement　with　the　corresponding　curves　gained　by　laboratory　triaxial　shear　tests,　which　verifies　that　the　analytical　solution　can　be　applied　to　analyze　the　drainage　consolidation　process　of　triaxial　shear　test.　©　2016,　Academia　Sinica.　All　right　reserved.
