About this document
Shear Strength and Classification of Clay by Sara Benavides is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This chapter discusses the properties of clays and cohesive soils, including: 1) Methods for measuring and selecting shear strength parameters for short and long-term stability analyses of normally and overconsolidated clays. 2) A new Cohesive Index classification system for silts and clays ranging from 0 (non-cohesive silt) to 1.0 or above (clay). 3) Standard tests for classifying silts and clays including hydrometer analysis, plastic limit, and liquid limit tests. However, these tests have limitations du
