Descriptions
A serious of triaxial compression tests were carried out for bentonite mixed sand under saturate and unsaturated conditions in order to clarify the mechanical behavior. As a result, the saturated specimen had lower shear strength than unsaturated one. The strength decreased rapidly with increasing bentonite content and were dependent upon confining pressure as expressed by the terms of internal friction angle and cohesion.
