| Abstract | An investigation of the dynamic shearing properties of
the compacted Bangkok Clay was conducted. A series of unconsolidated undrained triaxial tests were performed on specimens compacted at ·water contents ranging from 4 per cent dry of optimum to 5 per cent wet of optimum. The specimens were
subjected to confining pressure ranging from 10 psi to 1000
psi, and times to failure ranged from 15 min. to 10 msec.
It was found that the compressive strength of all specimens increased as the time to failure decreased. The specimens compacted near and at optimum moisture content exhibited a higher strength increase than the specimens compacted at other water contents. The strength ratio decreased slightly as the
confining pressure increased. The increase in strength ratio
was greater for specimens with random particle orientation than
for specimens with a parallel orientation. |
