Strength of compacted cohesive soils
Strength of compacted cohesive soils
(OP)
Hi, I made a research and found that there are some interesting threads about this topic. However, I am looking for literature reference about this topic. Can anyone provide references? I believe that the 1960 conference at Boulder is a good start point. Thanks !!





RE: Strength of compacted cohesive soils
You ultimately need to ask yourself what strength state you are interested in for the design purpose. Peak strength and corresponding cohesion may not stand the test of time in the near surface. Owing to wetting and drying cycles, there can (will be) reduction of cohesion and change in void ratio. Such changes can take decades and the peak strength may not be there for the long haul. Design in these intstances should then consider, "fully-softened" stregth.
