2) Table 1 contains data obtained from consolidated undrained tests on soft clay. You need to determine the shear strength parameters in term of total stress and effective stress. A different specimen of the same soil is also tested in undrained triaxial compression at a cell pressure of 150 kN/m2, and fails when the deviator stress is 75 kN/m2. Calculate the pore pressure in the specimen failure. In your opinion, what is the differences between total stress and effective stress?

Q.2) In an unconfined compression (UC) test on a saturated clay, the maximum proving ring dial reading recorded was 240x10-3 mm, when the axial shortening of the specimen having an initial height of 70 mm and an initial diameter of 36 mm, was 12 mm. If the calibration factor of the proving ring was 3.2 N/103 mm, calculate the unconfined compressive strength and the undrained shear strength of the clay. 0₁ = Cu .kPa kPa
In a laboratory compression test, the void ratio in a soil sample changes from 1.46 to 1.32 when the compressive loading increases from 100 kN/m2 to 200 kN/m2. Calculate the value for the coefficient of compressibility and the compression index for this load range.

4. A sandy soil sample was subjected to a consolidation pressure of 100 kPa and Consolidated drained test was conducted on it. The failure plane angle which the sample made at failure with respect to horizontal was 60°. Find the vertical stress at failure. If instead of increasing the vertical stress, it was decreased gradually, explain why the sample would fail. Obtain the shear and normal stress at failure for both of these conditions.
