Estimation of OCR by using any soil parameter

[honeywhite]

Hi,

I'm desperately searching some method to estiamte value of OCR by using any other soil parameter as undrained shear strength, effective shear strength, angle of shearing resistance, effective angle of shearing resistance etc.

Your assumptions and conclusions appears correct. However, there is a difference to say the value of m is higher in comparison to consider it constant 1 for field vane test. However, as I mentioned you might be in the right track. Please advise us if you do the math. The other issue to consider is the fact that if OCR is high there is a chance that a field vane test is not conducted unless it is a research project (I am not aware of)
