Shear Strength Characteristics of Clays | Soil Engineering

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, an increase in excess pore [...]
