About this document
Undrained Shear Strength of Saturated Clay by Bell drum is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document examines a commonly used method for determining the undrained shear strength of saturated clays. Some advantages and disadvantages of this procedure are summarized. The undrained shear strength of a saturated clay is assumed to be equal to the cohesion intercept of the Mohr-Coulomb envelope. Tests show that the undrained strength of normally consolidated deposits increases over time due to secondary compression, behaving similarly to lightly overconsolidated materials. The procedure is proposed
