A Study on Characteristics of Undrained Shear Strength of Remolded Marine Clays at Incheon

인천 재성형 해성점토의 비배수 전단강도 특성에 대한 연구

The main purpose of this work is to determine characteristics of undrained shear strength of remolded marine clay at Incheon. Laboratory vane tests with remolded marine clay sampled from west coast at Incheon were performed to investigate the undrained shear strength of them being dumped for reclamation after dredging from the sea bottom. Test results were compared with the predicted values of undrained shear strength proposed by many researchers. It was found that measured results about undrained shear strength with water content was in good agreements with values proposed by Mikasa and Modified Mikasa's empirical formula.
