A consolidated undrained triaxial test was performed on a normally consolidated clay with a critical state friction angle of 230. After an initial isotropic consolidation at a cell pressure of 50 kPa, drainage was turned off, the cell pressure was increased to 85 kPa, and the sample was loaded to ultimate conditions. A pore pressure of 55 kPa was measured at ultimate state. What value of major principal total stress was measured at the ultimate state?
A 75 mm diameter clay specimen was consolidated in an oedometer under 200 kPa. At the end of consolidation, the void ratio is 0.863 and the specimen thickness is 18.51 mm. When the stress increment of 200 was added to the current vertical stress of 200 kPa, the specimen consolidated to a thickness of 17.56 mm. Assuming that the clay was normally consolidated under the vertical stress of 200 kPa, find the a) coefficient of volume compressibility in (MPa)^-1 and rounded to the 3rd decimal place.b) and the compression index of the clay rounded to the 2nd decimal place.
The following results were obtained from a set of consolidation test on a specimen of a clay sample taken from a 4.8 m thick clay layer on one of the construction site which are overlaid and underlain by a thick layer of coarse sand. Pressure (kN/m2) Void Ratio after the test 400 0.96 800 0.78 The initial thickness of the tested sample was 19.6 mm with a moisture content of 18%. The sample takes 8 minutes to achieve 25% of consolidation. 1. Estimate the total consolidation settlement of the clay layer based on the variation of the pressure as given in Table 2. Estimate the time to achieve 50% and 90% degree of consolidation and suggest ONE (1) method to accelerate the consolidation process of the above clay layer. Use sketches to support your answers.
A standard oedometer test in the laboratory indicated that a 0.02 m thick clay specimen took 0.5 days to undergo 90% primary consolidation. How many days will a 2 m thick layer of identical clay sandwiched between sand layers and subjected to an identical stress increment take to undergo the same?
