SHEAR STRENGTH
- LAB DETERMINATION -
1. Direct shear test
2. Unconfined compression test
3. Triaxial compression test
Unconfined Compression Test
• “Unconfined” sample
• For cohesive soils only

SENSITIVITY AND THIXOTROPY OF CLAY
SENSITIVITY
Loss of strength of clay in
the remolded form.
THIXOTROPY
Gain in strength of clay
with time.
• Most (but not all) clays
are partially thixotropic.
