Experimental study on nonlinear shear strength behavior of a tropical granitic residual soil (Grade VI) at various initial moisture contents

The conventional theories of soil mechanics use linear envelope to derive shear strength; this however, leads to an overestimation of the factor of safety in the examination of slopes. Therefore, the incorporation of methods that acknowledge the existence of non-linear characteristics of shear stren...
