During last 60 years many research studies have been conducted on calculation of shear strength of unsaturated soils and effects of matric suction on it. Several formulae are developed for predicting shear strength of unsaturated soils, based on strength tests on unsaturated soils. A variety of experimental techniques and laboratory equipment are used for unsaturated shear strength characterization. This study discusses the accuracy of shear strength prediction for unsaturated soils with three different formulae. The predicted shear strengths of three different soils for a wide range of suction, using these formulae are compared. And finally the dependency of accuracy of the best formula among the three investigated formulae on the net normal stress is investigated.

Estimation of lining thickness around circular shafts
Ozturk, H; Unal, E (2001-06-22)
In this paper, the broken zone developing, around a circular mine shafts and lining pressure is estimated by integrating the results of numerical analysis and the "rock-load height" equation derived from empirical analysis. During numerical modelling studies, the computer program FLAC(2D) was utilized. In order to estimate equivalent Mohr failure Envelope from the generalised Hoek Brown failure criterion, a new FISH function was written within FLAC(2D). Parametric studies were carried out by considering mRM...
DETERMINATION OF UNSATURATED SOIL PROPERTIES FROM SIMPLIFIED EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES
Kenanoğlu, Melih Birhan; Toker, Nabi Kartal; Department of Civil Engineering (2023-1-27)
Unsaturated soil mechanics provides theoretical basis to researchers and practitioners for the solution of various geotechnical engineering problems. The implementation of developed theories and experimental techniques into engineering practice is, however, questionable. The development of simple and rapid experimental procedures that are compatible with existing theoretical models could be beneficial in this regard. In this study, a complete framework of practical procedures for obtaining unsaturated...
Exponential Equation for Predicting Shear Strength Envelope of Unsaturated Soils
Ahmadi Naghadeh, Reza; Toker, Nabi Kartal (2019-07-01)
An exponential equation is introduced to predict the nonlinear variation of shear strength with matric suction for unsaturated soils. The proposed equation involves three constant parameters, two of which are effective shear strength parameters (i.e., phi ' and c '). The third parameter is the maximum capillary cohesion, c '' max, which is the maximum possible increase in shear strength due to matric suction. A procedure for the determination of c '' max from the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) is de...
Comparison of undrained shear strength by pressuremeter and other tests, and numerical assessment of the effect of finite probe length in pressuremeter tests
IŞIK, Nihat Sinan; ULUSAY, REŞAT; Doyuran, Vedat (2015-08-01)
There is a wide body of research reported in the literature which compare the undrained shear strength determined from various field and laboratory tests. The pressuremeter testing equipment and the related design techniques have been continuously refined. However, the undrained shear strength (S (u)) determined from the pressuremeter test (PMT) is generally higher than that obtained from other field or laboratory tests. In this study, numerical methods to consider the effects of length to diameter ratio (L...
Experimental study on stress concentration factors in single and groups of end bearing and floating stone columns
Çekinmez, Zeynep; Erol, Ahmet Orhan; Toker, Nabi Kartal; Department of Civil Engineering (2014)
In this study, small scale model tests were performed in order to observe effects of column length and undrained shear strength on settlement reduction ratios at different zones, as well as the stress concentration factor. In these tests different loading conditions, i.e. single stone column loading, unit cell loading and group loading, were studied. Stress carried by stone columns under various foundation pressures were directly measured by soil pressure transducers. Surface and subsurface settlements were...
