Abstract: Shear strength is an important mechanical property parameter of soils. In order to investigate the influence of dry density on the mechanical properties of soft soil nearshore sample from Bohai area, the undrained unconsolidated direct shear tests wereconducted on the natural soil sample with different dry density. The influence of dry density on the cohesion and the internal friction angle of the unsaturated clay tests was evaluated. It is concluded that the shear strength increases with the dry density.


Key words: Soft Soil, Dry Density, Shear Strength, Internal Friction Angle, Cohesive Force
