Undrained Shear Strength - Granular Soils
Undrained Shear Strength - Granular Soils
(OP)
For the purposes of a slope stability analysis (static case only), would a free draining material (eg. clean gravel and/or sand)
have an undrained strength? I often see in reports that the undrained strength is equal to the drained strength.
For example, the following values may be reported:
Drained Phi = 30
Drained C = 0
Undrained Phi = 30
Drained C = 0
Would reporting a value of undrained shear strength be appropriate for this type of material, or should
the drained strength be reported only?

So, if you reported an undrained strength the same as the drained strength.....would that technically be correct?
Or should you just not report an undrained strength at all?
