The Tensile Strength of Compacted Clays as Affected by Suction and Soil Structure
Summary This paper describes the influence of soil structure and soil suction on the tensile strength of a compacted clay. Laboratory tensile strength tests were carried out on a medium plastic clay. The soil samples were prepared by compacting a soil-water mixture of predetermined water content. The soil samples were either wetted or dried to different water contents corresponding to several suction levels. The test results showed an increase in the tensile strength with higher suction values and that samples compacted at different compaction states reach different magnitudes of tensile strength values.
