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?

I have completed my graduation and master's in history from Jadavpur University Kolkata,India in 2012 and I have completed my B.Ed from the same University in 2013. I have taught in a reputed school of Kolkata (subjects-History,Geography,Civics,Political Science) from 2014-2016.I worked as a guest lecturer of history in a college of Kolkata for 2 years teaching students of 1st ,2nd and 3rd year. I taught Ancient and Modern Indian history there.I have taught in another school in Mohali,Punjab teaching students from classes 9-12.Presently I am working as an online tutor with concept tutors,Bangalore,India(Carve Niche Pvt.Ltd.) for the last 1year and also have been appointed as an online history tutor by Course Hero(California,U.S) and Vidyalai.com(Chennai,India).
