This paper focuses on the influence of various strain rates to the soil triaxial testing strength. Consequently, to evaluate the inter-effect of water content, OCR and strain rate to the strength behavior. Kondner's (1963) hyperbolic stress-strain model for clay soil was used to define the proposed triaxial test results, and comparison was made for the strength parameters. In this study, Linkou lateritic soil, with medium to high plasticity, was selected for testing program. The various water contents, OCR, and strain rates were controlled during Consolidated-Drained Triaxial testing. Basing on the hyperbolic stress-strain model employed, the correlation among the water content, strain rate and strength parameters (c, φ) was qualitatively discussed and established.
