..., exhibited densities in the range of 1160 kg/m 3 to 1302 kg/m 3 and undrained shear strengths in the range of zero to 2.7 kPa, in the uppermost 3.85 metres of the deposit. The objective of using the above technologies was to provide a profile of in-situ small strain shear stiffness of the deposit through...

... This paper presents the results of a field investigation carried out to determine the undrained shear strength of a sensitive clay deposit. The tests were performed by means of a Nilcon vane borer in Louiseville, Quebec, Canada. In order to study the possible anisotropic nature of the undrained...

... The solution for the expansion of an infinitely long cylindrical cavity in a soil mass, based on given constitutive laws, allows to obtain “conventional” soil parameters such as the undrained shear strength or the angle of internal friction based on pressuremeter test results. The pressuremeter...

.... It was found that the clay is highly anisotropic with respect to its undrained shear strength and its stress-strain characteristics. Undrained shear strengths from compression tests were 1.7 to 1.8 times greater than from extension tests. Undrained strengths from direct simple shear tests were somewhat higher...

... beneath the relocated Welland Canal. The undrained shear strength is a minimum parallel to the bedding in certain critical layers within the lower stratified zone, indicating that the critical stability surface would include a long flat portion along this bedding. As the economy of the project demanded...
