This book has the purpose of developing an understanding of the
factors determining and influencing the shear behavior of soils,
with emphasis on composite soils, as they are the most encountered
materials in geological and geotechnical engineering in mountainous
areas. This objective is reached by examining the soil
compressibility, structure of shear zone and its evolution, and
water content of shear zone and shear mode of soils together with
analyses of the influences of intrinsic properties, e.g. Atterberg
limits, particle size distribution, particle shape, and testing
conditions, e.g. normal stress and shearing rate. An in-depth
review is presented in an approximately chronological order and
covers almost all the factors that are believed to influence the
mechanical behavior of soils. The equipment and test techniques for
shear strength of soils are detailed. The residual shear behavior
of composite soil is investigated by means of a systematic
laboratory testing program using a large ring shear apparatus and
an intermediate direct shear box. The Fast Fourier Transform is
employed for the first time to analyze the fluctuations of measured
shearstress and discovers the close relationships with both
intrinsic properties of soils and testing conditions. Although the
book is aimed primarily at researchers in geological and
geotechnical engineering, it contains material of interest to
students of geology and soil science and also should be a useful
reference for practicing engineers faced with composite soils.
