A series of previous tests has established that the ultimate effective friction angle of a NC clayey soil is 19.2°. If a CD test is now performed on this soil with a cell pressure of 105 kPa, what would be deviator stress at failure? Given: o3 = Kao, where Ka 1-sin o' 1+sin o'
A given saturated clay is known to have effective strength parameters of c' = 10 kPa and = 28°. A sample of this clay was brought to failure quickly so that no dissipation of the pore water pressures %3D could occur. At failure it was known that o KPa, o = 10 KPa and = 20 kPa. %3D (a) Estimate the values of o, and oz at failure (b) Use the Mohr circle to illustrate the effective stress and total failure stress.
A consolidated-undrained triaxial compression test was performed on a normalconsolidated clay sample. During the experiment, the confining pressure was 140 kPa, thedeviator stress was 125 kPa, and the pore water pressure was 75 kPa at the time of failure.According to the information given:i- Find the consolidated-undrained internal friction angle of the clay. ii- Find the drained friction angle of the clay
