Two specimens were prepared from sand collected from the same area. Set the cell pressure to 100kPa and the back pressure to 100kPa.
After saturation was achieved by applying 90 kPa, isostatic consolidation was performed by fixing the back pressure and increasing the cell pressure to 300 kPa. this
For the specimens prepared in this way, one was subjected to a CD test (consolidation drainage test) and the other was a CU test (consolidation undrainage test).
carried out. If shear failure occurred in the sample subjected to the CD test when the sequential stress was given at 500 kPa, the CU test was performed.
What is the sequential stress required to destroy the sample subjected to ? However, the excess pore pressure coefficient of this sand sample is
Assuming A=0.8, B=1.0, the CU test process is expressed as a stress path.
