    Consolidated Undrianed shear strength of NC clays

    Hi all, I have done 3 Consolidated Undrained triaxial tests on typical normally consolidated clay samples. When I drew the 3 Mohr circles for the total stresses I figured out that to get the best tangent line, the M-C line should cut the Y axis in a value > 0.0 and that means that these NC clay...

    For Normally consolidated clays, what is the virgine curve?

    Hi, I had a hard time trying to understand the meaning of the virgin consolidation curve for NC clays. I understand that Virgin means that all the present effective stresses acting on the soil are larger than the preconsolidation pressure of the soil, therefore the e-log(P) curve will be linear...
