- A clean sandstone core sample with diameter of 3.8 cm and length of 5.6 cm is saturated with a brine. The core was desaturated in several steps, and the resistance was measured at each saturation. The results are as follows: Water Saturation (Fraction) Resistance (kS) 1.000 1.302 0.900 1.695 0.800 2.283 0.730 2.878 0.640 3.775 0.560 5.637 0.480 7.838 0.375 13.175 0.350 17.050 0.300 26 Brine resistivity= 0.74 2m Archie coefficient 1.03 Cementation factor= 2.2147 (1) Estimate the rock porosity. (2) Determine the saturation exponent. (3) Estimate the amount of oil and brine (in cc) in the core sample when resistivity index is 5.

- In Triaxial test, which of the following parameters do not need to be recorded the confining pressure specimen diameter changes ) the generated pore pressure the axial force A Triaxial test was performed on a dry, cohesionless soil. If the sample failed vhen the minor principal stress was half of the major principal stress, the soil's angle of internal friction is: O 22.5 19.5 33.3 O 25 A technician obtained a soil void ratio of 1.5. It is okay because it is possible to measure void ratio values above 1. True False |arrow_forwardA CID TXC test was performed on a sample of sand. At the end of consolidation, the back pressure was 140 kPa, and the cell pressure was 340 kPa. At failure, the deviator stress was (ơ1 – 03)f = 200 kPa. a. What was the total pore water pressure, u, at failure? b. Calculate the principle effective stresses, ơi' and os', at failure. c. Calculate the friction angle, d', for this soil.arrow_forward
