16 Determination of Shear Strength from Test Results Define failure criteria 1. Peak stress difference ( 2. Maximum stress ratio. Maximum shear stress τ max 4. Specific strain level 1 ) max Determine principal stresses and shear stress 1 max Drained tests: 1. and 2. give same c, φ Undrained tests: 1. and 2. give different sets of c, φ

17 Selection of failure criteria depends on: Testing condition Field condition (Drained vs. Undrained) Method of analysis (Total stress vs. Effective stress)

30 Problems with Direct Shear Test Nonuniform stress Normal stress Shear stress Changing area of shear plane Contact between soil and shear box Squeezing of soil Contact between soil and shear box Changing area of shear plane

31 Direct Shear Advantages Easy to perform Low cost A lot of experience Drawback Small-size specimens Limited shear displacement Forced failure plane

32 Ring Shear Advantages Cost is not very high Unlimited shear displacement Drawbacks Anisotropy Small specimen size Forced failure plane Limited experience

34 Triaxial Test Soil Specimen

35 No drainage 1 u

36 1-1 u a + u d = u

37 Pore Pressure Coefficients In an undrained test, the change of pore pressure can be related to the changes of stresses as: u = B[ + A( )] 1 A and B are the pore pressure coefficients u a = B

38 Change of total volume: V c = c c V ( = c V ua ) Change of volume of voids: V V v = c v nv u c c = compressibility of the soil skeleton c v = compressibility of the fluid in voids = c V v a c c c v c ε v = v = ε u

39 B = 1+ 1 n c c c v For saturated soils, if c c >> c v, B 1 (soil skeleton is much more compressible than the fluid) For very stiff clays whose c c is also very small, B may not be close to 1 even if the soil is almost saturated

40 A and B can only be determined from test results When ( 1 - ) remains 0, B can be determined from the relationship between the increasing and u For saturated specimens, B is close to 1 Get A by from the changes of u and ( 1 - ) A is not a constant, it changes through out the test ud 1 A = B 1

41 Use B to check the saturation of soil specimens Incremental increase of check the increase of u compute B If B is close to 1, the specimen is near saturation

42 Although B is an indication of the degree of saturation, there is no way of knowing the degree of saturation from values of B

43 u = B[ + A( )] 1 u = B A B( )] + 1 A = A B For B = 1 A = u 1 During shearing = 0 A = u 1

44 A depends on: the state of the specimen (soil type), the stress history (overconsolidation), the stress state (anisotropy), the stress level, loading conditions (loading or unloading), and other conditions A can vary from negative values to greater than 1 A at failure is defined as A f A f

45 Back Pressure Increase the degree of saturation Increase pore water pressure, u, in the specimen while maintaining the effective confining (consolidation) stress For example: 100 kpa 150 kpa 200 kpa 250 kpa u 50 kpa 100 kpa 150 kpa 200 kpa 50 kpa 50 kpa 50 kpa 50 kpa Check B at every stage

46 How Does Backpressure Works? Elevated pore water pressure can squeeze on the trapped air bubbles and make them decrease in size Elevated pore water pressure would make the trapped air more likely to dissolve in water Some would apply a small hydraulic gradient to help flush out the air during the saturation process

47 1 = 0 = 0 1 = p0 '1 = p0 = p0 ' = p0 1 = p0 = p0 '1 = ui ' = ui '1 = p0 ' = p0 1 = p1 = p1 1 = p0+p1 = p0+p1 '1 = ui ' = ui '1 = p0 ' = p0 1 = p1+p2 = p1 1 = p0 + p1+ p2 = p0+p1 1 = p0+p2 = p0 '1 = p2(1-af)+ ui ' = -Af p2 + ui '1 = p2(1-af)+p0 ' = -Af p2 + p0 '1 = p0+p2 ' = p0

48 Unconsolidated Undrained Test UU test or Q (quick) test 1 = = 0 u 0 u u 2 1 = 0 + ( u1) = 0 = u0

49 Reason for the Confining Stress More similar to actual field condition where all around pressure exists Increase the degree of saturation Can make the fissures (formed during the extrusion of tube samples) in the specimens close up

76 For normally consolidated clay, when ( 1 - ) reaches maximum, its shear strength has not been fully mobilized yet the shear strength is still increasing For overconsolidated clay, although the shear strength has been fully mobilized, ( 1 - ) keeps increasing due to the increase of effective confining stress the difference is not as significant as for N.C. clay

78 Steady-State Strength The steady-state deformation for any mass of particles is that the state in which the mass is continuously deforming at constant volume, constant normal effective stress, constant shear stress, and constant velocity

79 Grain Size Diameter of specimens should be at least 6 x (largest particle size) Can use specimens with the same shape of particle distribution curve for testing Also they have to have the same relative density φ increases as average effective stress increases and as max. particle size decreases
