For the first series of tests, no drainage of pore water occurs, either when the normal load is applied or during shearing (relating to clay’s very low coefficient of permeability). How does the “no drainage” control can be visualized?

Concept explainers

Test for Determination of Shear Strength

The term shear strength is often associated with the soil. Shear strength is defined as the resistance to the deformation of soil particles due to the continuous action of shear stress. In short, shear strength is the maximum shear stress that a soil can sustain.

A sand deposit has been identified beneath a site located adjacent to a river. The sand deposit is 30 feet thick and the top of the layer is 24 feet below the ground surface and overlain by a very stiff clay and is underlain by bedrock. The water level has been measured to be at a depth of 30 feet. The standard penetration resistance of the layer has been determined to be 20 blows per foot and a sampler without liners was used; a drill rig with a safety hammer with an efficiency of 60% was used. The length of the drill rod is 5 meters and the borehole diameter is 7.87 inches (200 mm). The design earthquake has been designated as a moment magnitude 7.5 event on a nearby fault and the maximum ground acceleration is expected to be 0.60 g. The wet unit weight of the clay soils is 200 pounds per cubic foot and the wet unit weight of the sand soils is 250 pounds per cubic foot. The sands have 45% fines content according to a grain size analysis. Determine the cyclic stress ratio, CSR.…

In a consolidation test the following results have been obtained. When the load was changed from 50KPA to 100kPa, the void ratio changed from 0.70 to 0.65 a) Determine the coefficient of compressibility
A 3 m thick stratum (drained in two directions) of saturated Clay and under overburden, exhibited 90% primary consolidation in 75 days. Find the coefficient of consolidation of the clay for the pressure range. a) Take a 30 mm thick specimen, how long will it take for it to show 80% consolidation in the laboratory for a similar length of pressure, consider a two-way drain? b) If the specimen is 25 mm, time to reach 60% consolidation, with drainage in one direction?
A 3 m thick saturated soil stratum has a compression index of 0.25 and coefficient of permeability 3.2 x 10-3 mm/sec. If the voids ratio is 1.5 at vertical stress of 0.10 N/mm2, compute the voids ratio when the vertical stress is increased to 0.25 N/mm2. Also calculate settlement due to above stress increase and time required for 50% consolidation. Assume single drainage.
