Depending on its water content, soil may appear in one of four states: solid, semi-solid, plastic and liquid.

Even though metal fatigue has been studied for almost 160 years, many problems remain unsolved. 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.

In bedded/foliated rocks, particular attention needs to be given to loading direction with respect to bedding/foliation. The shear resistance of soil is a result of friction and interlocking of particles, and possibly cementation or bonding at particle contacts. if you estimate a phi of say 30 from the chart, the range varies to either side of that by 6 or 7. well heck a range of 23 to 37 doesnt tell you anything.

Grid size 100*100 A) F - Y =20 o. A) and B) demonstrate that for the same difference between F and Y the results are different but both result in thick and regular shear bands. The plasticity index (PI) is a measure of the plasticity of a soil. It can be calculated as a ratio of difference between natural water content, plastic limit, and liquid limit: LI=(W-PL)/(LL-PL) where W is the natural water content. Based on the SPT data an empirical correlation has been established between standard penetration number N and internal friction angle to predict the friction angle of soils. 24(2), 111 (2005), Salari, P., Lashkaripour, G.R., Ghafoori, M.: Presentation of empirical equations for estimating internal friction angle of GW and GC soils in Mashhad, Iran using standard penetration and direct shear tests and comparison with previous equations. %%EOF

Soil friction angle is a shear strength parameter of soils. By the way i have got the Lab redoing the testing doing single stage triaxials not multi as before. I'd re-do the tests or try other forms of strength testing. 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. The stress-strain relationship levels off when the material stops expanding or contracting, and when inter-particle bonds are broken. 10 sieve; coarse sand is material passing a No 10 sieve but retained on a No. These tests are mainly used on clayey or silty soils since these are the soils which expand and shrink when the moisture content varies.

BTSprovides a measure of rock toughness, as well as strength. 4 ULTIMATE BEARING CAPACITY The bearing capacity of a soil is a direct measure of the resistance of the soil to lateral displacement, and since the CBR test was designed to measure this property, some degree of correlation would be expected (Black, 1962).
