The Effect of Rate of Displacement on Measuring the Residual Strength of Clays.

Abstract

Rotation shear tests were performed with a device developed to measure residual shear strengths of clays clay shales, on annual specimens of remolded Bearpaw shale and remolded London clay. Rates of displacement in comparative tests, are expressed in peripheral velocities of the annular specimens. (Author)
