Estimation of undrained shear strength of fine grained soils from cone penetration resistance

Abstract Background Many previous authors have proposed empirical methods for the evaluation of undrained shear strength S u of soft to stiff saturated cohesive soils from CPT cone resistance q c  data. Published works are rare on this topic for the cases of unsaturated and overconsolidated clays an...
