Question: Problem 3 Using the isotropically - consolidated undrained ( ICU ) triaxial compression test data for specimens of Toyoura sand ( from Ishihara 1 9

Problem 3
Using the isotropically-consolidated undrained (ICU) triaxial compression test data for specimens
of Toyoura sand (from Ishihara 1993; see Figure 1), consider the two triaxial tests at D_(R)=38% and
D_(R)=64% consolidated to \sigma _(3c)^(')=20atm.
On a single page, summarize the response of these two tests on plots of: q-\epsi _(a),q-p^('),e-logp^('), and
\Delta u-\epsi _(a). Make sure the appropriate axes line up when creating your plots. On these plots, label the
points corresponding to the points marked O,A,B,C, and Don Figure 1. Note that the shape of these
relationships can be visually interpolated and thus drawn using these few points. Summarize your
calculations for points O-D in a table.
^(*)ve_(min)=0.60,e_(max)=0.98 D_(R)=16%,(b) D_(R)=38%,(c) D_(R)=64%(after Ishihara 1993).
