Abstract

Abstract

Through comparing the undrainde shear strength determined by laboratory tests with that by DMT horizontal stress index K_D,make a conclusion that Marchetti's equations concerning the evaluation of undrained shear strength are applicable to soft cohesive soils in Shanghai district,and the dilatometer modulus E_D has linear relativity with undrained shear strength.
- undrained shear strength c_u,
- dilatometer modulus E_D,
- horizontal stress index K_D
