Direct simple-shear tests on norwegian quick clay
Cylindrical sample (diam 8 cm, height 1 cm) is confined in reinforced rubber membrane allowing vertical deformations and horizontal displacements with no change in diameter; consolidated constant-volume shear tests showed shear strengths which were lower than those found in comparable triaxial tests; tests indicate that structure of clay might be stable for small shear stresses but starts to collapse at certain critical value; this phenomenon might explain some landslides which have occurred in slopes in quick clay at shear stress much below ultimate drained shear strength.
