Title:	Shear Strength Correlations for Ohio Highway Embankment Soils
Author:	Holko, Jeffrey M.
Description:	Highway embankment design is typically done with the assistance of empirical correlations created by researchers in the past. Many of these correlations, however, were originally developed for soils not commonly found in Ohio. This lead to embankment designs that are either overly conservative or less conservative. This thesis details a study conducted that looked at the shear strength of Ohio soils. C-U triaxial compression tests were performed along with the standard penetration test, unconfined compression test, sieve analyses, and index property tests to create useful shear strength correlations for the soils found in Ohio. As a result, three levels of guidelines were proposed for all three major AASHTO soil types found in the state.
