Soil Shear Strength at the Structure Interface [PDF]

open access: possibleSoil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, 2020
The article presents the results of studies on soil shear strength at the interface of structures made of various materials. The authors propose procedures for performing direct shear tests at the soil-structure interface and determining the interface shear parameters according to cone penetration data.

Influence of the Spatial Variability of Soil Shear Strength on Deep Excavation: A Case Study of a Bangkok Underground MRT Station

, 2021
This paper investigates the effects that the spatial variability of a soil's undrained shear strength has on lateral wall movements and ground surface settlements when performing a deep ex...

The shear strength of unsaturated soils

Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 1978
The shear strength of an unsaturated soil is written in terms of two independent stress state variables. One form of the shear strength equation is[Formula: see text]The transition from a saturated soil to an unsaturated soil is readily visible. A second form of the shear strength equation is[Formula: see text]Here the independent roles of changes in ...

Stabilization of Low Shear Strength Soil by using Fly Ash

, 2015
Many infrastructure projects such as highways, railways, water reservoirs, reclamation etc. requires huge earth material. In such a way to enhance the engineering properties of the soil, it requires various soil stabilization techniques.

Shear Strength of Soils and Cyclic Loading [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal of the Geotechnical Engineering Division, 1976
This paper describes the results of undrained triaxial tests on undisturbed samples of three soils: (1) A slightly clayey silt; (2) a silty clay; and (3) a sand. The static undrained loading tests to failure were performed after various numbers of cycles of undrained cyclic loading as well as with no previous cyclic loading.

The Measurement of the Shear Strength of Soils

Géotechnique, 1950
Synopsis Tests are described for determining the shear strength parameters c and φ of the principal soil types under controlled conditions of pore pressure dissipation. The significance of the results is discussed in terms of their application in stability analyses.

Exploring Artificial Neural Network to Evaluate the Undrained Shear Strength of Soil from Cone Penetration Test Data

, 2020
In geotechnical design practices, the undrained shear strength of soil is regarded as one of the engineering properties of paramount importance. Over the past years, several theoretical and empirical methods have been developed to estimate the undrained ...

Shear strength behaviour and the measurement of shear strength in residual soils [PDF]

open access: possible, 2012
The selection of appropriate strength parameters and the prediction of deformation and failure are important steps in the design of foundations and cut slopes in residual soils. In countries with widespread residual soils, strength testing practice, both in the laboratory and in the field mostly follows standard procedures, employing triaxial and shear

Effect of rate on soil shear strength and soil-metal friction I. Shear strength

Soil and Tillage Research, 1983
Abstract The effect of deformation rate on the shear strength of a sandy and a clay soil has been examined in a new laboratory rig designed to shear soil in the range equivalent to 0.0015-5 m/s sliding speed. Soil cohesion was found to vary logarithmically with deformation rate over a wide range of moisture contents.
