3) The results below were obtained at failure in a series of consolidated-undrained triaxial tests, with pore water pressure measurement, on specimens of a fully saturated clay. Determine the values of the shear strength parameters c' and q'. If a specimen of the same soil were consolidated under an all-round pressure of 240 kN/m² and the principal stress difference applied with the all-round pressure changed to 340 kN/m², what would be the expected value of principal stress difference at failure?

Transcribed Image Text:B) The results below were obtained at failure in a series of consolidated-undrained triaxial tests, with pore
water pressure measurement, on specimens of a fully saturated clay. Determine the values of the shear
strength parameters c' and q'. If a specimen of the same soil were consolidated under an all-round
pressure of 240 kN/m² and the principal stress difference applied with the all-round pressure changed
to 340 kN/m², what would be the expected value of principal stress difference at failure?
