Determination of the Undrained Shear Strength of Sensitive Clay Using Some Laboratory Soil Data

The undrained shear strength is a paramount parameter in determining the consistency and ultimate bearing capacity of clay layer. This resistance can be determined by in-situ tests, such as field vane test or laboratory including portable test, triaxial, simple compression penetrometer (i.e. Swedish cone). However, cone are most commonly used geotechnical experts. In this paper, relationships between sensitive some soil properties were developed. consisted percentage fine particles (less than 2 µm), moisture content Atterberg limits. Furthermore, correlation was proposed associating obtained penetration (Swedish addition, applications on problems included, determination Comparison results developed correlations with experimental present investigation reported literature show acceptable agreement.
