Abstract

In sabarkantha region, different types of clayey soil available which have multiple behavior for soil structure. Understanding the behavior of clay is not easy, as slight variations in the existing conditions. The strength behavior of clayey soil can be interpreted from its relative compaction and mean confining pressure. In this work, unconsolidated un-drained triaxial test will be performed for different proportion of (silt+clay) % with sand. Unconsolidated un-drained triaxial test conducted for various confining pressures. In this clayey soil, high percent of (silt+clay) and less percent of sand content available, which pose major problem to soil structure. From this work, we can evaluate the effect of relative compaction on Shear strength parameters c and Ø of clayey soil.
