ON THE LONG-TERM STRENGTH OF UNDISTURBED COHESIVE SOILS. PROCEEDINGS OF THE ELEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOIL MECHANICS AND FOUNDATION ENGINEERING, SAN FRANCISCO, 12-16 AUGUST 1985

A new, simplified method is proposed for the determination of long-term strength. The method makes use of the results from triaxial tests. A number of analyses were carried out with the aim to justify the validity of the solution suggested. The data obtained substantiate the importance of soil deformations in mobilizing the shear resistance, which is essential in the case of inhomogeneous soils. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 287689. (Author/TRRL)
