Vane Shear Testing
Q: A consolidated-drained tri-axial test was conducted on a normally consolidated clay. The results are as following: confining stress, G3 = 150 kN/m² and deviator stress, (Aod)t = 150 kN/m². i) Determine angle of friction, q; ii) Determine angle 0 that the failure plane makes with the major principal plane; iii) Find the normal stress and the shear stress ty on the failure plane; and iv) Determine the effective normal stress on the plane of maximum shear stress. Express your results in two decimal places.
The following data are from a direct shear test on an undisturbed soil sample. Represent the data by a Mohr Circle and compute the minor principal stress. Normal pressure = 16.2 kN/m2; Tangential pressure = 14.4 kN/m2, Angle of internal friction = 24°; c = 7.2 kN/m2. Show diagram. Note: the answer must be in the choices a. 26.25 b. 38.77 c. 57 d. 6.77
