The unusually high undrained shear strengths which have been measured in the soil at this site are proably a consequence of high lateral effective stress brought about by a substantial degree of overconsolidation. By assuming high, but realistic, values of lateral stress it is shown that these high undrained shear strengths can be predicted. Skin friction values are calculated as a proportion of the undrained shear strength of the soil, the proportion being estimated on the basis of assumed effective stress conditions in the soil adjacent to the pilel Alternative values of skin friction are also calculated by a direct effective stress method.
