Shear Stress-Shear Rate-Time Relationship of Wet and Soft Soils and Its Application (Part 2)——Shear Stress-Shear Rate-Time Relationship

The shear stress - shear rate - time relationship of wet and soft soils is determined from the point of view of dislocation theory. Theoretical analyses and experimental results show that shear stress of soils is a power function of shear rate. The relative shear stress comparing with shear strength is related only to shear displacement and not to shear rate.
