1. To evaluate shear strength to be used in stabilityanalysis of a slope, two drained direct shear testshave been performed on samples of a highlyoverconsolidated clay. One test was carried out ona remolded sample under effective vertical stressof 300 kPa, and a shear strength of 121 kPa wasmeasured. The second test was carried out on aprecut sample under effective vertical stress of 300kPa, and a shear strength of 48 kPa was measured.On the basis of previous field experience with theoverconsolidated plastic clay, it is expected thatthe peak (intact) strength envelope will show acohesion intercept c' (mob) of 10 kPa for effectivenormal stress range near 200 kPa. Compute theshear strength to be used on a segment of a slipsurface on which the effective normal stress is 200kPa, if the slip plane passes through: (a) materialthat is badly fissured and jointed; however, there isno preexisting continuous plane of discontinuity;(b) material that contains a preexisting plane ofdiscontinuity oriented in the direction of globalmovement; (c) material that according to bore holerecords appears to be free of joints and fissures andthere is no preexisting plane ofdiscontinuity; and (d) if for condition (b) the factorof safety was equal to 1.2, compute the factor ofsafety if the porewater pressure at the slip planeincreases by 50 kPae 3:16 /
