Abstract
The shear strength of a saturated, anisotropically consolidated, remolded clay has been investigated by means of hollow, cylindrical samples where the three applied principal stresses were varied independently. The apparent shear strength parameters, ∖a/' and c', were evaluated by means of consolidated-undrained tests with pore-pressure measurements. The test data were analyzed by the Coulomb-Mohr and the stress invariant failure theories. Neither theory was found to be entirely satisfactory in predicting the ultimate strength of an anisotropically consolidated clay.
