| Abstract | This report presents the results of an investigation on the
shearing characteristics of isotropically consolidated Soft Bangkok Clay. The stress-strain properties were determined by consolidated-undrained triaxial compression tests. Undisturbed samples were taken from depths of approximately 24 ft and 28 ft below the ground surface. At each depth, two groups of soil samples were tested. On group was investigated under normally consolidated condition and the other under over consolidated condition. The test results show that there is a unique normalized stress strain relationship for the normally consolidated clay. However, slight variations did occur primarily due to the differences in the initial water content and compressibility of the test specimens. The characteristics of the normalized stress-strain plots, shear strength and effective stress paths for the over consolidated
clay are greatly dependent upon the values of the over consolidation ratio (OCR). For the same maximum past pressure, the undrained shear strength decreases with increase in OCR. However, the value of
Su / ó‾c increases with the OCR |
