In situ water content and fines content observed plays an important role in case of c- soil, hence plasticity index (PI) and fines content (p) are also included in model equation in case of c- soil. 10 shows that the predicted values for the effective friction angle, f 0 , generally ranges between 32. It depends on a number of factors, the main ones being: Volume of material (like for fissured clays or rock mass). There is also a close relationship between the limits and properties of a soil such as compressibility, permeability, and strength. 0000003506 00000 n Undrained strength is typically defined by Tresca theory, based on Mohr's circle as: \[\ \mathrm{\sigma_{1}-\sigma_{3}=2 \cdot S_{u}=U .
