Abstract: It is imperative to study the engineering characteristics of residual soils which is weathered violently under large deformation. Making use of the test features of ring shear apparatus, the change law of shear strength of soils under large shear displacement can be studied. The experimental determination of residual strength and peak strength indexes of residual soil is conducted by ring shear tests. Test data are analyzed through arrangement and comparison. The relationship between water content and residual strength proved the existence of property of watering softening under large deformation. The character of strain softening of residual soil is analyzed by strain threshold, that is, various shear strengths should be different with various shear displacements. Specifically, the peak strength corresponding to the range of strain is between 0.02 and 0.06 while the residual strength corresponding to the range of strain is between 0.06 and 0.20. Besides, the results also indicate that the residual strength of residual soil is directly affected by the difference of mineral composition, which is the internal cause of inhomogeneity of residual soils

Key words: residual soil, engineering characteristics, shear strength, ring shear test, residual strength
