Study on the Shear Strength Properties of the Silt in Hangzhou, China

Abstract:

To investigate the shear strength properties of the silt, three soil samples are collected from Xiasha zone, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. The geotechnical engineering parameters of the silt soil are measured in the soil mechanics laboratory. Tests results show that the uniformity coefficient of the silt is 13.6, the natural density is 1.96t/m³, the moisture content is 17.0%, the plasticity index is 9.4, the cohesion force varies from 20.8 to 28.3kPa, and the internal friction angle varies from 12.3 to 31.8degree. Finally, the properties of the shear strength are studied, and find that the relationship between the shear stress and the shear strain is conformity with the strain hardening curve, and the relationship between the shear strength and the vertical pressure applied on the soil samples is linear, and agrees with the Coulombs law.
