Soil friction angle is a shear strength parameter of soils. The plasticity index (PI) is a measure of the plasticity of a soil. Springer, Singapore. 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.

That means soil is in the liquid state. It can be seen that for a Plasticity Index of 50, which is true for Young Bay Mud, =0.8. It is called associated plasticity, if the angle of dilation is equal to the angle of internal friction. Cohesive soil of low plasticity can beusedin rein forced earth providing that bar -mesh reinforcement is used.

If water is not allowed to flow in or out of the soil, the stress path is called an undrained stress path. 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.

Thus, the study provides a simplified and faster analysis of angle of internal friction for different types of soils. These limits were created by Albert Atterberg, a Swedish chemist and agronomist, in 1911. It is measured in accordance with the procedures given inASTM D2938, with the length to diameter ratio of 2 by usingNX-size core samples. Shear strength, cohesion, and friction angle all have obvious turning points when OC = 7.5% and OC = 37.5%. In the test a cylindrical rock sample is axial loaded till failure. These tests are mainly used on clayey or silty soils since these are the soils which expand and shrink when the moisture content varies.

I'd re-do the tests or try other forms of strength testing. The soils consisted of monomineralic soils, some natural soils and the goose lake flour - a commercial standard soil used in research at Soil Mechanics Laboratory of University of Illinois. The amount of expansion is related to the ability of the soil to take in water and its structural make-up (the type of minerals present: clay, silt, or sand). The results can be used to estimate the undrained shear strength of soils. endobj
Agree with msucog, but . The volume change behavior and inter-particle friction depend on the density of the particles, the inter-granular contact forces, and to a somewhat lesser extent, other factors such as the rate of shearing and the direction of the shear stress.

The theoretical state at which the shear stress and density remain constant while the shear strain increases may be called the critical state, steady state, or residual strength. Cohesive soils are clay type soils. In general, the plasticity index depends only on the amount of clay present.
