Upload NowAs the consolidation settlement depends on both the initial and final stress levels and because there is significant difference in consolidation settlement due to virgin compression and re-compression, stress history has a significant effect on compression of clays. Influence of Stress Cycle: The relation between soil compression and effective stress is not unique even for […]

Shear strength characteristics of clays unconsolidated undrained conditions are discussed below for normally consolidated clays and pre-consolidated clays. 1. Normally Consolidated Clays: After consolidation under cell pressure is complete, no excess pore water pressure is present inside the sample. However, when the specimen is subjected to the subsequent increase of axial stress, under undrained conditions, […]
