Soil Shear Strength under Drained
and Undrained Conditions ….
• Drained conditions occur when rate at which loads are applied are
slow compared to rates at which soil material can drain (k -
dependent)
• Sands drain fast; therefore under most loading conditions drained
conditions exist in sands
• Exceptions: pile driving, earthquake loading in fine sands
Soil Shear Strength under Drained
and Undrained Conditions ….
• In clays, drainage does not occur quickly; therefore excess pore water
pressure does not dissipate quickly
• Therefore, in clays the short-term shear strength may correspond to
undrained conditions
• Even in clays, long-term shear strength is estimated assuming drained
conditions
