A high value of PI indicates an excess of clay in the soil and that results in greater plasticity of that soil. These studies are however mainly focused on Usually the stress ranges the testing is carried out under is far greater than the stress range you are looking at for slope stability problems. Yup guys done the reverse engineering of the slope have got a fair idea of what it should be but the Triaxial test are not indicating similar values hence my Quest. Casagrande subsequently standardized the apparatus (by incorporating a crank-rotated cam mechanism to standardize the dropping action) and the procedures to make the measurement more repeatable.

It is commonly adopted in limit equilibrium analyses where the rate of loading is very much greater than the rate at which pore water pressures that are generated due to the action of shearing the soil may dissipate.

If soil expands its volume, the density of particles will decrease and the strength will decrease; in this case, the peak strength would be followed by a reduction of shear stress.

This is an intrinsic property of a substance that is caused by the shape and structure of its molecules which makes the distribution of orbiting electrons irregular when molecules get close to one another, creating electrical attraction that can maintain a macroscopic structure such as a water drop.

Bangkok shear strength ratio and friction angle ( ') of CIUC, CKoUC, and Clay has an activity of about unity and its relationship between LL DSS tests for NC clay as shown in Eqs. . PI = LL - PL Shrinkage Limit The shrinkage limit (SL) is defined as the water content at which the soil changes from a semi-solid to a solid state. Well,I might suggest that obtaining phi' mobilized for a "whole surface" - assuming that you have the one is a whole lot better that a triaxial test on a 40 mm diameter sample that may or may not reflect the true mobilized value - fissures, slickensides, etc. Fig. ics, insight about basic properties is necessary. Civ. Unconfined Compressive Strength, UCS, can be determined in the laboratory using the Triaxial Test or the Unconfined Compressive Strength Test. I have found some correlation charts of PI and Shear strength but was wanting to know if some one has the chart i can use, have read Bowles P108 it describes it but need more information. In situ water content and fines content observed plays an important role in case of c- soil, hence plasticity index (PI) and fines content (p) are also included in model equation in case of c- soil.
If the sample length to diameter ratio was greater or less than 2, ASTM recommends a correction factor that is applied to theUCSvalue determined from testing. It also applies where no pore water exists in the soil (the soil is dry) and hence pore fluid pressures are negligible. The plasticity index is expressed in percent of the dry weight of the soil sample. Soil friction angle is a shear strength parameter of soils. 1996 among others). Thus, aware-ness about how various properties correlate is an asset which is valuable when making predictions about soil behavior, as well as in validating results of soil tests. 18.
