The effect of soaking on shear strength of a Malaysian granitic residual soil
Shear strength plays a significant role in in controlling the stability of geotechnical constructions. Any reduction in shear strength can cause costly damages and risk the human life. Tropical countries are covered by residual soils and clay is the content of many soils in these regions. The shear...

| 总结: | Shear strength plays a significant role in in controlling the stability of geotechnical constructions. Any reduction in shear strength can cause costly damages and risk the human life. Tropical countries are covered by residual soils and clay is the content of many soils in these regions. The shear strength of clay diminishes when it starts to absorb water and soaked. In this study the effect of socking on the shear strength of a Malaysian granitic residual soil was examined by conducting a series of consolidation drained triaxial tests. The results show a reduction in shear strength while the soil was soaked. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. |
