AbstractThree methods are presented for predicting the undrained shear strength of marine soils using parameters obtained from tests on disturbed samples. The predictions are developed from (a) a rational approach using critical state soil mechanics, (b) an empirical relationship with plasticity index, and (c) an association with the liquidity index. A series of case studies is reviewed leading to the conclusion that the rational critical state approach leads to a conservative estimate of peak strength for all cases except the underconsolidated soil; the empirical method provides a reasonable prediction of peak strength for normally consolidated soils; and the use of liquidity index provides a close estimate of remoulded strength (Author's abstract).
