Typical Stress-Strain Curves for UU Tests
a) Remolded and some compacted clays b) Medium sensitive undisturbed clay c) Highly sensitive undisturbed clay
Note: max. Δσ occurs at relatively low strains

Typical Mohr failure envelopes for UU Tests
100% saturated clay
Partially saturated clay
Increased cell pressure compresses any air voids
All samples have same water content and void ratio – therefore the same undrained shear strength
