A consolidated-undrained tri-axial test was conducted on a normally consolidated clay sample and the results are as follows: Chamber confining pressure = 115 kPa, Deviator stress at failure = 81 kPa, Pore Water Pressure = 62 kPa. These results were used to determine the drained friction angle of the soil. Compute the deviator stress (kPa) at failure when the drained test was conducted with the chamber confining pressure changed to 159 kPa. Round off to two decimal places.

4. The construction of a 10m x 10m square water tank in a residential neighbourhood has been planned. As indicated in Figure below, a 6m thick soft clay layer was discovered between sand layers during site exploration. For laboratory studies, an undisturbed soil sample was obtained in the middle of the soft clay layer. The findings of the laboratory consolidation test are listed below.

Answers are given Kindly, show the steps how to solve these questions.
The following figure show the relationship between the voids ratio and effective stress for a soil sample collected from the mid depth of a 6 m thick clay layer. The Cc and Cr values have been determined to be 0.3 and 0.04 respectively. For the given information: If the current effective stress at the mid depth is 70 kPa, calculate the ultimate consolidation settlement when the effective stress at mid depth increases by 10 kPa due to an applied load. If the coefficient of consolidation is 0.555 m2/s and the clay layer is single drained, calculate the time taken to reach 45% consolidation.
Please solve fully and please make sure the answer to the second part is in time units of years. Thank you
A standard oedometer test in the laboratory indicated that a 0.02 m thick clay specimen took 0.5 days to undergo 90% primary consolidation. How many days will a 2 m thick layer of identical clay sandwiched between sand layers and subjected to an identical stress increment take to undergo the same?
2. The results of a consolidated-drained triaxial test conducted on a normally consolidated clay are as follows: Chamber confining stress = 220 KPa Deviator stress at failure = 320 KPa (a) Angle of friction (b) Angle of failure (c) Normal and Shear stress on the failure plane Calculate:
Soln.please,
A consolidated-drained triaxial test was conducted on an overconsolidated clay sample. The sample failed in test 1 at 01=200 kPa and 03=130 kPa, and in test 2 at o1=400 kPa and 03=290 kPa. Determine the undrained and drained friction angles and cohesion for the assumption that the Skempton's pore water pressure parameter A=0.45. Also, for a CU test on the same soil, determine o1, 1', 03', and excess pore water pressure u for 03=340 kPa.
