Abstract
Undrained shear strength of soft clays is usually measured by field vane tests or laboratory tests. The relevance of the test results in stability calculations of embankments and foundations is discussed. Empirical relations for undrained shear strengths obtained from Scandinavian clays are compared with reported failures.Keywords
