| Abstract | This thesis presents the results of an investigation of the shear strength characteristics of Bangkok Clay in the weathered zone under Kq anisotropic consolidation condition.
Specimens from the depths of 4.0 to 6.0 ft and 11.0 to 13.0 ft were tested under consolidated undrained condition with pore
pressure measurements. The average value of the Ko of the weathered Bangkok clay was found to be 0.57 + 0.02. The consolidated-undrained test
results show that the effect of anisotropic consolidation over
that of isotropic consolidation were: (1) the peak of the
stress-strain curve was reached at a considerably lower strain,
(2) the normalized behavior did not exist for apparent over¬
consolidated and laboratory overconsolidated clays, (3) the
value of Af was found to be very much lower and its value
decreased with increase in OCR, (4) the undrained shear strength
ratio Su/ó1c was higher by 20 per cent and increased with
increase in OCR, and (5) the shear strength parameters
decreased and Ø increased. |
