Because of complexity about property of unsaturated soil
getting correlative strength parameters needed high and extract equipment
the difficulty is big so that its application is limited. Based on an analysis of strength theory of unsaturated soil
CD test of clay about different combination of water content and dry density is carried out with normal three-axis test. According to the theory of effective strength of soil
the effective strength of clay about water content and dry density is discussed
thus functions of total strength indexes are established that the effect of water content(saturation) and dry density can be considered. Study shows that strength of clay has close connection with water content and dry density. Moreover
the relation between cohesion
internal friction angle and water content(saturation) is conic
the relation between cohesion and dry density is linear
and the mutual effect of the both can be expressed by multiplication. Our research can be used as a reference application of project.
