    Triaxial test

    Hi, I want to know which type of triaxial is able to withstand the highest strain in a specimen. The specimen is a mix of water, cement and bentonite. The spec states Strain greater than 6% without cracking, obtained in a triaxial cell at 28 days under a confining pressure of 100 kPa at a...

    Shear strength

    Hi, I have these results shown below of three different soils, Soil 1 -> LL = 44 / PL = 18 Soil 2 -> LL = 56 / PL = 22 Soil 3 -> LL = 96 / PL = 24 Is the shear strength the same for all three soils at their respective liquid limit value? Thanks,
