Question: C U test is performed on a clay specimen. The soil sample is first consolidated a confining pressure of 5 0 k N m 2

CU test is performed on a clay specimen. The soil sample is first consolidated a confining pressure of 50kNm2 then applied with deviatoric stress under drain condition. At failure the deviatoric stress is 38kNm2 and the excess water pressure is 36kNm2.
What is A coefficient? Is this clay a OC or NC clay? Please explain.
What is (undrain)?
What is '(drain)?
What is the angle of failure plane?
What is the ' and on the failure plane?
If a test is performed on the same specimen, what is the deviatoric stress at the given confining stress of 50kNm2?
C U test is performed on a clay specimen. The
