Effects of High Shearing Rates on the Shear Behavior of Saturated Loess Using Ring Shear Tests

Table 2

Ring shear test program of the loess samples.

Shearing rate (deg/min (mm/min))	Normal stress level (kPa)			Shearing method
	100	200	300
120 (131)	RS_1	RS_2	RS_3	Single-stage shearing
240 (262)	RS_4	RS_5	RS_6	Single-stage shearing
360 (393)	RS_7	RS_8	RS_9	Single-stage shearing
