Present day knowledge of soil strength is limited to conditions favouring static or quasi-static loading. Under these conditions, the shear strength parameters are as yet not well defined. Neither is there satisfactory agreement on the true mechanism of friction and cohesion in clay soils. For example, Rowe (1957) suggests that true cohesion may be unstressed at equilibrium and that creep would result if true cohesion is mobilized. [...]
