Shear Strength Characteristics of Soft Soil in Nansha District of Guangzhou by WANG Wei-qi, LIAN Chang-jiang, LI Jian-ping, CHEN Zhi-yong, CHENG Dong-hai, CAI Wei-long, TANG Kai, LI Chao

“…At 10-20 m depth, ccq exhibited a range of 5.56-13.70 kPa, while φcq ranged from 1.25°-4.76°. (4) In triaxial tests, the consolidated drained shear strength parameters (c', φ') of soft soil were determined as 13.75 kPa and 14.76°, respectively, while the consolidated undrained strengths (ccu, φcu) were 13.13 kPa and 11.50°, respectively. (5) The undrained shear strength of undisturbed soil obtained from vane shear tests and unconfined compression tests was 14.84 kPa and 15.83 kPa, respectively, indicating close agreement between the two methods. …”
