Question 3: A cylindrical sample of soil 50mm in diameter 100mm long was subjected to axial and radial effective stresses. When the vertical displacement was 2mm, the soil failed. The stresses at critical state are (1')cs=280kPa and (3')cs=100kPa. The change in soil volume at failure was 800mm3.
Which failure criterion is appropriate to interpret the test data?
Determine a) the axial strain at failure, b) the volumetric strain at failure, c) the critical state friction angle, and d) the inclination of the slip plane to the horizontal plane.
