The laboratory miniature vane shear test (MVST) has been widely used to measure the undrained shear strength of marine sediments in offshore engineering. However, the transfer of the soil sample in tube samplers from the seabed to the laboratory releases

Post-Cyclic Mechanical Behaviors of Undisturbed Soft Clay with Different Degrees of Reconsolidation
Soft soil is often subjected to cyclic loading such as that imposed during storms, under traffic, or in an earthquake. Furthermore, the cyclic-loading-induced excess pore water pressure can be partially dissipated after cyclic loading.

Analysis method for basal stability of braced excavations in clay based on undrained shear strength
At present, the analysis method for basal stability is mostly based on the consolidated undrained shear strength index. The method is unreasonable in theory for the soft clay and does not consider the strength of the soil above the lowest support.

The undrained shear strength of clay is an important index for the calculation of the bearing capacity of the foundation soil, the calculation of the soil pressure of the foundation pit, and the analysis of the slope stability.

Foam is usually used in soil conditioning of earth pressure balance shield tunnelling. The smooth muck discharge and chamber pressure transmission require foam-conditioned coarse-grained soils with suitable flowability to avoid face instability and ...

Numerical analysis of suction embedded plate anchors in structured clay [PDF]
As offshore energy developments move towards deeper water, moored floating production facilities are increasingly preferred to fixed structures. Anchoring systems are therefore of great interest to engineers working on deep water developments.

Discussion of ‘‘Re-Examination of Undrained Strength at Atterberg Limits Water Contents’’ by H.B. Nagaraj, A. Sridharan & H.M. Mallikarjuna [PDF]
Having recently investigated soil strength at the Atterberg limits, the discussers read the paper by Nagaraj et al. (2012) with interest. Whilst some of the conclusions of the paper concur with those of our own work, there are other areas in which we ...

The plastic limit of clays [PDF]
The plastic limit of soils was first described by Atterberg in 1911. The thread-rolling test was standardised at the US Public Roads Bureau in the 1920s and 1930s, and has subsequently become one of the standard tests of soil mechanics.
