A soil has an unconfined compressive strength of 120 kN/m2. In a triaxial compression test a specimen of the same soil when subjected to a chamber pressure of 40 kN/m2 failed at an additional stress of 160 kN/m2. Determine angle of friction. Draw the Mohr Circle

Laboratory results on a soil have shown that its unconfined compressive strength is 1.2 kg/cm2. In a triaxial compression test a specimen of the soil when subjected to a chamber pressure of 0.4 kg/cm² failed at an additional stress of 1.6 kg/cm2. Estimate the shearing strength of the same soil along a horizontal plane at a depth of 4m in a deposit. The ground water table is at a depth of 2.5m from the ground level. Take dry unit weight of soil as 1.7 gm/cc and specific gravity as 2.7

The angle of friction of a compacted dry sand is 37 degrees. In a direct shear test on the sand, anormal stress of 150 kN/m^2 was applied. The size of the specimen was 50mmx50mx30mm(height) SITUATION 1 a. Compute the shearing stress Your answer       b. What shear force will cause shear failure? Your answer       c. Determine the shear stress at a depth of 3m if the void ratio of the soil is 0.60. Gs Of sand is 2.70

For a direct shear test on a soil having USCS classification SP, the shear stress at failure was 45.5 kPa for a normal stress of 65 kPa. What is the effective friction angle for this material? Sketch and label the Mohr's Circle and Mohr-Coulomb failure envelope.

A stratum of clay1.80 meters thick below an incompressible soil will be subjected to a stress increase of 36 kPa at the center of the layer. The magnitude of the pre-construction soil overburden pressure is 68 kPa at the center of the layer. A laboratory compression tests indicates that the clay is overconsolidated with a preconsolidation pressure equal to 80kPa. The value of the compression index, Cc=0.30 and the swell index is 0.05. The void ratio of the clay is 1.50. Determine the settlement of the clay layer due to this condition.
