4. The failure envelope for drained peak (intact) strength ofa highly overconsolidated clay exhibits pronounced curvaturein the low effective normal stress range. For this reason intactstrength is defined using different values of intercept and angleof failure envelope for each range of effective normal stresso. An intact specimen of this clay is consolidated under anequal all-around pressure of 50 kPa and then axial stress isincreased under drained conditions until the maximum principalstress difference of 135 kPa is reached. Compute: (a) angle ofthe Mohr-Coulomb failure envelope for this stress condition,assuming an intercept of 10 kPa; (b) drained shear strengthon' the failure surface of the specimen, defined by the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion; (c) drained shear strength of a nor-mally consolidated specimen of the same clay composition, ona failure surface with the same effective normal stress as inpart (b) on the assumption that the angle of internal friction o'is 20°; (d) fully softened shear strength of the intact specimen,on a failure surface with an effective normal stress as in part(b); and (e) residual shear strength on a preexisting shear surfaceof the overconsolidated clay, with an effective normal stress asin part (b) and for a residual friction angle o, equal to 10°.
