Abstract
This thesis describes a study of the influence of pore-water
pressures on the measurement of shear strength of remolded silt by the
laboratory vane apparatus. A device to prepare saturated soil samples
and an experimental technique to measure poro-wator pressures on the
failure surface produced by rotation oi the vane ore discussed. Experi
mental results of vane tests conducted in conjunction with pore-water
pressure measurements on remolded silt samples and laminated silt samples
are presented and discussed.
