DRAINED DIRECT SHEAR TEST ON AND CONTROL OF DEFORMATION OF SATURATED COHESIVE SOIL

ENSAUO DE CORTE DIRECTO CON DRENAJE Y CONTROL DE DEFORMACION PARA SUELOS COHESIVOS SATURADOS

The author outlines a method for determining the shear strength of saturated cohesive soil as a function of effective stresses by means of a system of controlled deformations. A study is made of peak and residual strength, and attention is drawn to the importance of selecting an adequate rate of deformation. /TRRL/
