A Change of Undrain Shear Strength of Soft Ground during Consolidation Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to investigate the undrain shear strength increment during consolidation process of soft clayey soils. Thirty kinds of laboratory triaxial tests have been performed using undisturbed and remolded Ariake clay samples with different degree of consolidation and 5 kinds of confining pressure. Test results show that well known linear equation proposed by Yamanouchi et al.(1982) is overestimated the strength of undisturbed soft clay ground in the process of consolidation. A new simple and reasonable exponential equation proposed in this paper.
