Abstract: The shear strength of expansive soils is now a key geotechnical problem. The
water content and dry density of expansive soils have deep effect on its shear strength. For
analyzing the detail relationship of the water content, dry density and shear strength of this
special soil, direct shear test was carried out with the samples from Xinxiang in middle line of
South to North water diversion project. The results indicate that both of the cohesion and friction
angle grow with dry density and decrease with initial water content. Applying the linear
regression calculation, we obtained mathematical expressions which reveal the variation of shear
strength with the dry density and initial water content of Xinxiang expansive soils. © (2013) Trans
