Abstract

This paper summarizes a soil mechanics study of the clay-water system made with steady-state nuclear magnetic resonance as the analytical tool. Although the study was limited to measurements of the contribution of water-lattice strength to the shear strength of clay soils, the results demonstrate the utility of the techniques of radio-frequency spectroscopy in such investigations. The authors conclude that water-lattice strength is of negligible significance in determining the shear strength of wet clay soils.
