Increased shear strength in frictional soil
Limit equilibrium analysis (LEA) of slope stability is the main concept in evaluating existing structures and for designing of new ones. When doing a LEA cohesion c’ and friction angle φ’ are conventionally used for strength determination. Since LEA does not properly take consideration of factors contributing to increased shear strength in frictional ...

Simulation of the shear strength for unsaturated soils
Abstract The simulation of the hydro-mechanical behavior of unsaturated soils is becoming a subject of major importance in soil mechanics. However, unlike the laws governing the behavior of saturated soils, those used to describe the behavior of unsaturated soils still lack of simplicity for common engineering practice. This is why it is important to

Shear strength of an unsaturated weakly expansive soil
AbstractTo study the weakly expansive clay obtained from a slope along Wuhan—Shiyan expressway in Hubei Province, soil-water property tests and some unsaturated triaxial tests with suction control were conducted, and the soil-water retention curve (SWRC) and unsaturated shear strength of this soil were obtained.

Damage Strength Model of Soil–Structure Interface Based on Equivalent Damage
Objective Pile-soil interaction plays a critical role in slope support engineering. Since the contact surface represents the weakest link in the system, analyzing the influence of the soil shear area on the mechanical properties and the constitutive ...

Shear Strength Prediction of Soil based on Probabilistic Neural Network
Background: Shear strength parameter is an essential engineering property of soil which affects different aspects of soil such as bearing capacity of the soil, stability of slope, inclination of dam and retaining structures.
