    This document is a seminar paper on the effect of strain rate on the shear strength of soils. It was prepared by Ankita Ghosh, a civil engineering student at Jadavpur University, under the guidance of her professor Ramendu Bikash Sahu. The paper includes a literature review of experimental studies conducted on soils from Mexico City and San Francisco Bay to analyze how shear strength is affected by strain rate. It also discusses some considerations for designing embankments on rate-sensitive soils, including how strain rate affects the mobilized shear strength during construction and under working conditions. The paper contains tables and figures to illustrate the results and conclusions of the literature reviewed.
