Variability of undrained shear strength cu within one organic soli layer
Journal Title: Biuletyn Instytutu Morskiego - Year 2017, Vol 32, Issue 1
Abstract
For the purpose of this article a program of geotechnical laboratory tests was performed on organic soil (mud) samples from one geological layer. All undisturbed samples were taken within the same excavation in square grid with a side about 30 cm. Differences between specimen parameters were found both at basic test results and at shear strength tests results. Based on all performed tests authors suggest carefulness in assuming geotechnical parameters of organic soil layers because of theirs spatial variability even in very close vicinity. <br/><br/>
