Question: Triaxial compression tests were run on specimens from a large undisturbed block sample of clay. Data are given below. Tests 1 through 4 were run

Triaxial compression tests were run on specimens from a large undisturbed block sample of clay. Data are given below. Tests 1 through 4 were run so slowly that complete drainage may be assumed. In tests 5 through 8, no drainage was permitted. Plot the Mohr failure envelopes for this soil. Determine the Mohr-Coulomb strength parameters in terms of both total and effective stresses. (After Taylor, 1948.)?
