Uncertainty of Mobilized Undrained Shear Strength
ABSTRACT A method for analyzing the uncertainties involving the use of empirical relationships in design is developed. It is applied to evaluate the reliability of the relationship su(mobilized)=0.22σ’p(measured), whereby the pertinent uncertainties are analyzed using extensive laboratory and field observed data. On the average, the relationship su (

Discussion: Remoulded shear strength at plastic and semi-solid states [PDF]
The undrained shear strength of remoulded soils is of great concern in geotechnical engineering applications. This study aims to develop a reliable approach for determining the undrained shear strength of remoulded fine-grained soils, through the use of ...

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 ...

Pore pressures and strains after repeated loading of saturated clay [PDF]
Repeated and sustained loading tests on undrained samples of normally consolidated lacustrine clay are used to prove the existence of a relationship between pore water pressures and axial strains.The behavior of the clay is studied by investigating the ...

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.

Experimental study on effect of temperature on shear behavior of saturated clays
The effect of temperature on shear behavior of saturated clays is investigated by means of the temperature-controlled triaxial tests. Two kinds of normally consolidated saturated clays are tested.

Undrained Stability of Unsupported Rectangular Excavations: Anisotropy and Non-Homogeneity in 3D
The stability of unsupported rectangular excavations in undrained clay is examined under the influence of anisotropy and heterogeneity using the three-dimensional finite element upper and lower bound limit analysis with the Anisotropic Undrained Shear ...

Undrained Shear Strength of Remoulded Marine Clays
ABSTRACT In order to investigate the change in undrained shear strength characteristics corresponding to the change in the test condition and soil type, four different types of consolidated undrained triaxial tests were performed on some natural marine clays in Japan, and the test result was compared with that previously obtained for artificially ...
