Abstract
The influence of soil structure and such structure-determining factors as molding water content and method of compaction on the strength of compacted clays after soaking is described and the variety of relationships which may exist between initial composition and strength after soaking is examined and demonstrated. The usefulness of the stress-strain relationship of soil samples compacted wet of optimum by kneading compaction as an indicator of the probable significance of method of compaction, molding water content and strain at failure on the induced strength characteristics of compacted clays is described.
