Summary
Forty-eight soil samples taken from twelve different locations in Kuwait City and the Jahra area were used in four series of drained and undrained triaxial compression tests using multistage and conventional test techniques on undisturbed and remolded specimens. Classification tests indicated that the Kuwaiti soil is predominantly sandy with various content of fines. The fines content includes silt and clay, and also clay-size particles of calcareous and gypsiferous matter. Strength test results indicated that the cohesion and angle of friction determined from both techniques are in agreement and hence the multistage principle can be applied to determine the shear strength parameters of Kuwaiti soils. Specific recommendations on applying the multistage technique on cemented soils, occasionally encountered in Kuwait, are also included.
