SENSITIVITY OF SOIL - Soil Mechanics
Sensitivity elated to shear strength of soil in Laboratory test
- It is defined as the ratio of undisturbed strength to that of the remoulded strength
- Sensitivity = Undisturbed Strength / Remoulded Strength
Sensitivity of Soil
| Sensitivity | Nature of Soil |
| 1 | Insensitive |
| 1 to 4 | Normal |
| 4 to 8 | Sensitive |
| 8 to 16 | Extra -Sensitive |
| >16 | Quick |
