a) Determine the effective and total shear strength parameters and c,phi',cu,u.
b) What will be the principal stress difference at failure if UU test is performed on the same clay with cell
pressure equal to 100kNm2.
show me the equations of all the 4 parameters and their values, show me the drawing of mohr circle and the parameters on the circle, if cell pressure is segma3=200 then segma 1 is 200+440=640??? I want the mohr circle drawing, post the drawing pleaseProblem
The results of various shear strength tests performed on samples of a saturated intact clay are given below:
i) Drained triaxial test: The cell pressure (all-around pressure) is 200kNm2. The specimen failed at a
principal stress difference (deviator stress) of 440kNm2.
ii) Unconfined compression test: The specimen failed at an axial stress of 160kNm2.
On the basis of the above data, using graphical procedure:
a) Determine the effective and total shear strength parameters and {:cu,u).
b) What will be the principal stress difference at failure if UU test is performed on the same clay with cell
pressure equal to 100kNm2.
a ) Determine the effective and total shear
