N2  - An investigation of the dynamic shearing properties of  the compacted Bangkok Clay was conducted. A series of uncon solidated undrained triaxial tests were performed on specimens  compacted at ·water contents ranging from 4 per cent dry of  optimum to 5 per cent wet of optimum. The specimens were  subjected to confining pressure ranging from 10 psi to 1000  psi, and times to failure ranged from 15 min. to 10 msec.  It was found that the compressive strength of all speci mens increased as the time to failure decreased. The specimens  compacted near and at optimum moisture content exhibited a  higher strength increase than the specimens compacted at other  water ~ontents. The strength ratio decreased slightly as the  confining pressure increased. The increase in strength ratio  was greater for specimens with random particle oriEn tation than  for specimens with a parallel orientation
