Please explain clearly..... Thank you
A series of unconsolidated undrained (UU) triaxial compression tests have been performed on two "identical" clay specimens. The test results are as follows: Test Number Confining Pressure (kPa)| Deviator Stress at Failure (kPa) 102 96 (i) (ii) 1 2 50 100 Plot the total stress Mohr circles for both specimens at failure (indicate the major and minor principal stresses on the plot). Draw the total stress Mohr-Coulomb failure envelop (i.e., the "p=0" envelop). Estimate the undrained shear strength.

The effective strength parameters for a clay are known to be cʹ = 15kPa and φʹ = 29°. A UU triaxial test and CUtriaxial test were performed on identical saturated samples of the same clay. In both cases, the cell pressure was 100 kPa. In the UU test, the deviator stress at failure was 98 kPa, and in the CU test, the deviator stress at failure was 264 kPa. Find:•The undrained shear strength, su, of the specimen from the UU test•The pore pressure in the specimen at failure in the UU test.•The value of the Skempton parameter A̅ f from the CU test
Assume that both a triaxial shear test and a direct shear test are to be performed on a sample of dry sand. When the triaxial shear test is performed, the specimen fails when the major and minor principal stresses are 80 and 20 lbs/in^2, respectively. When the direct shear test is performed, what shear strength can be expected if the normal stress is 4000 lbs/ft^2?
