Abstract

The article presents a comparison of shear strength values in silty soils from the area of Poznań, determined based on selected N_kt values recommended in literature, with values of shear strength established on the basis of N_kt values recommended by the author. Analysed silty soils are characterized by the carbonate cementation zone, which made it possible to compare selected empirical coefficients both in normally consolidated and overconsolidated soils
