Effect of Specimens’ Height to Diameter Ratio on Unconfined Compressive Strength of Cohesive Soil

The undrained shear strength (Su) and cohesion (Cu) of cohesive soils are frequently determined using an unconfined compression test. However, the test results are heavily dependent on specimen size. This causes uncertainty in geotechnical analyses, constitutive models, and designs by overestimating...
