Time-effect and instability behaviour of cohesive soils

The stress-strain behaviour of cohesive soils is known to be affected significantly by time-effects such as shearing rate effects, creep and stress relaxation. Shearing rate may affect the shear strength and friction angle of soil. However, the mechanism behind the rate-effects is not well understoo...
