Variation in Undrained Shearing Strength by Semiconfined Tests

Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 1971
The undrained shearing strength of Welland clay is determined over a range of sample orientation of 180° by the use of semiconfined compression tests that limit failure to one direction, but allow failure on any plane in that direction. It is shown that the undrained shearing strength is very nearly symmetrical about i = 90° and that the Bjerrum ...

Undrained cyclic shear strength of crushable sands

International Journal of Geotechnical Engineering, 2013
Because 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 ...

Determination of Undrained Shear Strength Characteristic Values

Vulnerability, Uncertainty, and Risk, 2014
This 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 ...

Correlation of the Undrained Shear Strength

2012
This 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 ...

Uniaxial compressive and undrained shear strength of soil [PDF]

Proceedings of 10th Symposium on Doctoral Studies in Civil Engineering
Uniaxial 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 ...
