The results of unconfined compression tests on a sample of clay in both the undisturbed and remolded

Question:

The results of unconfined compression tests on a sample of clay in both the undisturbed and remolded states are summarized below. Determine the compressive strength, the initial tangent modulus of deformation, and the secant modulus of deformation at 50% of the compressive strength for both the undisturbed and remolded specimens. Determine the sensitivity of the clay. What shear strength would you use?

Undisturbed State Remolded State Ao (kPa) Δσ (kPa) Axial Strain (%) Axial Strain (%) 31 1. 58 10 4 104 22 30 126 6. 14
