Two similar clay soil samples were reconsolidated in the triaxial test under a chamber pressure of X1 kN/m2. Consolidated -Drained tests were conducted on these two specimens.

Sample I: cell pressure = Y1 kN/m2

                   Deviator stress = Y2 kN/m2

Sample II: cell pressure = Y3 kN/m2

                   Deviator stress = Y4 kN/m2

Find the shear strength parameters for the samples?

X1= 500

     Y1= 110     Y2= 420    Y3= 65    Y4=360

Two triaxial compression tests are conducted on identical specimens of the same saturated clay. In the first test the soil is first consolidated to sc=350 kPa and u0=200 kPa and then sheared under drained conditions increasing the axial stress while keeping the chamber pressure constant. At failure s1= 560 kPa. In the second test, the specimen is consolidated to sc=600 kPa and u0=400 kPa, then it is sheared under undrained conditions increasing the axial stress while keeping the chamber pressure...

Two consolidated undrained (CU) tests were conducted on two samples extracted from the same soil layer. The results are as follows: Specimen-1: confining stress = 16 psi, deviator stress at failure=29 psi, pore pressure at failure= 5 psi; Specimen-2: confining stress = 36 psi, deviator stress at failure=45 psi, pore pressure at failure= 17 psi. Calculate the effective shear strength parameters of this soil.

A drained triaxial test is conducted on a soil with friction angle of 25° and zero cohesion, using a chamber pressure sc=300 kPa and a back pressure (this is the term used to denote the initial value of the pore pressure, u0) equal to 200 kPa. The shear stage of the test is performed DRAINED by increasing the axial stress s1, while concurrently decreasing the chamber pressure s3 so that their sum remains constant (s1+s3 = constant). Draw the effective...

During a consolidation test, a sample of fully saturated clay 3 cm thick is consolidated under a pressure increment of 200 kN/m2 . When equilibrium is reached, the sample thickness is reduced to 2.60 cm. The pressure is then removed and the sample is allowed to expand and absorb water. The final thickness is observed as 2.8 cm and the final moisture content is determined as 24.9%. If the specific gravity of the soil solids is 2.70, find the void...
