Undrained shear strength in the surficial weathered crust
International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts, 1987Most geotechnical engineers feel that the undrained shear strength measured by the field vane in the surficial weathered crust cannot be fully mobilized during the failure of an embankment built of soft clay deposits. Consequently, the vane strength in the crust is generally reduced by some arbitrary means before stability calculations are performed ...

Undrained cyclic shear strength of crushable sands
International Journal of Geotechnical Engineering, 2013Because of their lightweight and highly crushable and compressible nature, pumiceous sands are problematic from engineering and construction viewpoints. There has been very little information on their liquefaction characteristics, and most empirical procedures available in evaluating the liquefaction potential of sands are derived primarily from hard ...

Correlation of the Undrained Shear Strength
2012This paper attempts to establish a relationship between the undrained strength and plasticity index of tropical clays. Its theoretical basis lies with the previous works of Skempton and Northey [1] and Atkinson and Bransby [2]. The data obtained from independent laboratory tests on so some clay samples sourced from several actual project locations in ...

Determination of Undrained Shear Strength Characteristic Values
Vulnerability, Uncertainty, and Risk, 2014This paper presents a Bayesian approach to determine characteristic values of the undrained shear strength Su profile for geotechnical analysis and design, particularly those using probability-based design codes. The approach integrates systematically the prior knowledge (e.g., engineering judgment/local experience) and a limited number of project ...

Uniaxial compressive and undrained shear strength of soil [PDF]
Proceedings of 10th Symposium on Doctoral Studies in Civil EngineeringUniaxial compressive strength and undrained shear strength are among the most important soil parameters in geotechnical engineering. The unconsolidated undrained triaxial test and the falling cone test determine them. The uniaxial compressive strength of soil is the maximum compressive stress that the soil can withstand before failure in drained ...
