... series of undrained triaxial compression tests under normal consolidation, as well as under over-consolidation, are then carried out on a slightly flocculated sample and a largely flocculated sample, as well as an ordinary remoulded sample. The values of the undrained shear strength of the flocculated...

... that sulfate considerably influences the long-term shear strength and behaviour of the interface. Sulfate can either negatively or positively alter the shear properties of the mature CPB–rock interface due to the competition between the processes that reduce or increase the strength at the interface...

.... It is shown, using numerical results of steady-state (continuous) penetrations, that the shear strength and global penetration resistance follow a similar law in which the shear strength and penetration resistance increase linearly with the logarithm of shear strain and penetration velocity, respectively...
