Shear strength behavior of cemented soil in direct simple shear

Tropical soils such as residual soil are cemented to a certain degree. The shear strength behaviour of these soils may not be properly described by classical soil mechanics theories. The objective of this project is to study the effect of cementation and bonding on the shear strength properties of t...
