The term Cu in the fs=alfa x cu
this is the undrained shear strength, that I know. does this also mean the cohesion of that soil?
i ask because, to obtain cu, from other questions, i also remember dividing undrained strength by two, but that was the axial strength q-undrained and not the shear strength correct?
so in other words,
cohesion-undrained = shear strength-undrained = (axial strength - undrained / 2)
correct?
