Abstract
In order to investigate influence of fabric of clay soil on shearing behaviour, three kinds of samples were prepared which have different fabrics, that is, naturally deposited undisturbed sample, artificially consolidated samples which were remoulded under higher water content and under several water contents lower than the liquid limit. The consolidated undrained triaxial compression tests were carried out for these samples under normally consolidated, over consolidated and cyclically sheared states. The influence of fabrics on shearing behaviour can be found in Fig. 12 and Fig. 13 which show the relationship between the coefficient of pore water pressure Af and the parameter b which is determined on water content-logarism of consolidation pressure diagram.
