Unconfined shear strength is a widely used parameter to determine soil-bearing capacity. Unconfined shear strength depends on numerous variables. Most researchers try to estimate unconfined strength by using empirical relations. But it is a hard to predict value. In this study, a set of unconfined shear test results and index properties of soils have been used. Different regression models were utilized and the most suitable relationships with the highest correlation coefficients were established.
