An Examination of the Validity of Steady State Shear Strength Determination Using Isotropically Consolidated Undrained Triaxial Tests

The assessment of the shear strength of soil deposits after the occurrence of large strains is an important issue for geotechnical engineers. One method for doing so, the steady state approach, is based on the assumption that the steady state undrained shear strength is a unique function of the in...
