Test for Determination of Shear Strength
The term shear strength is often associated with the soil. Shear strength is defined as the resistance to the deformation of soil particles due to the continuous action of shear stress. In short, shear strength is the maximum shear stress that a soil can…
Question
7.9 A specimen of soil was collected from a depth of 12 m in a deposit of clay. The ground water table coincides with the ground surface. For the soil, LL= 68, PL = 29, and Ysat = 17.8 kN/m'. Estimate the undrained shear strength S of this clay for the following cases. (a) If the clay is normally consolidated. (b) If the preconsolidation pressure is 191kN/m².
