Evaluation of Soil Shear Strengths for Slope and Retaining Wall Stability Analyses - giguni - 09-24-2010 Evaluation of Soil Shear Strengths for Slope and Retaining Wall Stability Analyses with Emphasis on High Plasticity Clays
In this report important fundamentals pertaining to the shear strength of soils are reviewed and guidelines for determining appropriate values of soil shear strength parameters are presented for both undrained (short-term) and drained (long-term) stability conditions. Particular attention is given to the long-term strength properties of compacted high PI clay fills used for embankment construction.
