Problem 5(25%):
A saindy soil has an internal friction angle '=35. In a consolidated-drained (CD) triaxial test, the sandy soil specimen failed at a deviator stress (''-')f=300kNm2.
Part a (10%): Draw Mohr's circle at failure condition and include the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion.
Part b (5%): What is the radius of Mohr's circle at failure?
Part c (5%): What is the chamber confining pressure, '3(kNm2)?
(5%): What is the major principal stress at failure, 1'(kNm2)?
