The most important test for rock in the field of dredging is the uniaxial unconfined compressive strength (UCS). The most common used test to estimate, in an indirect way, the tensile strength is the Brazilian split test. it seems too broad of a range in phi for a given PI to me to be of any real use other than very generalized statements.

Shear strength is a term used in soil mechanics to describe the magnitude of the shear stress that a soil can sustain. Although the Casagrande test is widely used across North America, the fall cone test is much more prevalent in Europe and elsewhere due to being less dependent on the operator in determining the liquid limit.[6]. The stress-strain relationship levels off when the material stops expanding or contracting, and when inter-particle bonds are broken. In general, the plasticity index depends only on the amount of clay present. Weight loss measurements tested the .

It is called associated plasticity, if the angle of dilation is equal to the angle of internal friction.

In these advanced analysis methods, soil models other than Tresca may be used to model the undrained condition including Mohr-Coulomb and critical state soil models such as the modified Cam-clay model, provided Poisson's ratio is maintained at 0.5. Furthermore, it is seen that the cohesion intercept for normally consolidated clays is zero both in the terms of total and effective stress. The last test is based on the fact that a mineral higher in the scale can scratch a mineral lower in the scale. <>

Thanks. What I'd do is to assume variety of phi to get determine the FS. ; "p! 3(3), 545556 (2013), Mujtaba, H., Farooq, K., Sivakugan, N., Das, B.M. Geotechnical engineers commonly utilize clay index properties to estimate the geotechnical parameters. The amount of expansion is related to the ability of the soil to take in water and its structural make-up (the type of minerals present: clay, silt, or sand). Box diagram of effective friction angle (') as a function of soil type. [!^6O,]g~5h$Fm U|4~AvSl=.`$s#q{t&M;.-4#zD7PD^!&):}")C6 \L(NDQH l-1DIgA5t|\k}mjETbA0P*9A|32x?&2h*ohnRAG11@n}puuy-@JYMv^&0bPt)vq. Now per the notes discussed above let's see what parameters should be used for each of the analysis types listed above: Slope stability analysis Short-term condition: undrained parameters ( E_u, \nu_u, S_u E u, u,S u )* There are also correlations for UCS with shear strength as estimated fromthe field using Vane Shear Tests. Thus the Atterberg limits are not only used to identify the soil's classification, but it allows for the use of empirical correlations for some other engineering properties.
