Undrained Shear Behavior Of Soils Occurring Within Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka

ABSTRACTDuring this research work, namely; the undrained shear behavior of soils within Nnamdi Azikiwe University, five different samples within the university compound were analyzed. Some laboratory test was carried out for classification and identification of their engineering properties, these tests include particle size distribution, Atterberg limit test, specific gravity, and free swell tests. Also, shear strength test (UU triaxial test) at different cell pressures and one-dimensional consolidation test, were carried out for the determination of some necessary parameters in an undrained c…
