Question
Shear Strentgh of the soil 2012
Q5: A N.C. clay was found to have 8-26°. The soil was tested under different types of
triaxial compression tests with a constant cell pressure of (200) kPa in all tests.
a- Determine the deviator stress at failure in CU-test, pore pressure at failure is (50)
kPa.
b- In CU-test, pore pressure at failure is (50) kPa, find the shear strength parameters in
terms of total stresses.
c- In UU-test, the deviator stress at failure is (148) kPa, find pore pressure at failure.
d- In CD-test, find the shear stresses at failure plane.
