A direct shear test is conducted on a 60 mm X 60 mm overconsolidatedclay specimen. The loading was very slow,ensuring that there is no pore water pressure developmentwithin the specimen (i.e., drained loading). The followingdata were recorded.

If you are to derive the Terzaghi Theory of 1D consolidation for a half-closed layer, how its derivation would be different from an open layer.
Problem-(5) In a triaxial compression test, the major principal stress was 90 kPa and the minor principal stress was 30 kPa, at failure. The pore pressure at failure was observed to be 10kPa. Find the tangent of the angle of shearing resistance of the sandy soil.
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?
Q-
The main difference between Unconfined compression test and triaxil compression test is that in this test the confining cell pressure is kept zero during the test, in fact it is a special case of triaxial test with zero side presure. True False
The following results were obtained from a series of consolidation undrained (CU) shear test. Determine the cohesion and the angle of shearing resistance.
