Undrained shear strength of the heavily consolidated clay
Annals of Warsaw University of Life Sciences - SGGW. Land Reclamation, 2013 Abstract Undrained shear strength of the heavily consolidated clay. The undrained shear strength (cu) is considered one of the most basic parameter characterizing soils in engineering practice. The particular importance of cu is in the case of clayey soil. This parameter also is the basis for the classification of soil according to the ISO standard.

The Influence of Bedding Orientation and Temperature on the Creep Behavior of Opalinus Clay
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract The time dependency of deformation is of critical concern for assessing the integrity of barriers in nuclear waste repositories. Creep, in particular, is a phenomenon recognized for its potential “self‐sealing” properties or, conversely, the potential for delayed failure in the rock mass surrounding an excavation.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract This study examined the spatiotemporal variability in geotechnical properties of beach cusp sediments on a sandy beach and tested if such variability can be used for cusp monitoring from satellite imagery. Specifically, sediment properties (including moisture content (w), relative density (Dr), sediment strength (QSBC) and friction angle (ϕ ...

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Submarine landslides occur globally and have the potential to damage seafloor infrastructure and trigger tsunamis. Recently, diatomaceous weak layers have been hypothesized to play a role in triggering submarine landslides on passive continental margins by generating overpressure.

Estimating the undrained strength of sand: a theoretical framework
, 1995 : A framework for estimating the ultimate undrained steady state shear strength of sand (S-u) from in situ tests, which combines the theory of critical state soil mechanics with shear wave velocity measurements, is presented.

Behavior of undrained shear strength of saturated soft clay under consolidation
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2019 By integrating the functions of large-diameter consolidometer and miniature vane shear devices, a systematic apparatus is devised and developed to be capable of performing shear tests at any point in time during the consolidation process of saturated ...
