Horizontal Bearing Test and Optimization of Value for Precast Piles in Alluvium Stratum of the Yellow River

Table 6

Comparison of m value between natural quick shear test and consolidated quick shear test.

Layer	Natural quick shear		m	Consolidated quick shear		m
	Loess (Plastic)	23		14	4.8		41	22	11.6
Silt	19	20	7.9	15	20	7.5
Silty clay⑧	36	16	7.1	46	22	12.1
Silty clay⑨	35	15	6.5	40	17	8.4
Clay (Plastic)	35	15	6.5	42	18	8.9

Note: silty clay⑧ in plastic-hard plastic state, silty clay⑨ in plastic state. Unit of the Cohesion c, internal friction angle φ, and m is kPa, ° and MN·, respectively.
