    Fully Softened Shear Strength

    Hello For a slope stability project I am involved in, we ran CU tests with pore pressure. We also ran hydrometer tests for the same sample. The drained angle of friction i am getting from the CU envelope is smaller than the drained fully softened angles that i get using the correlation between...
