A set of three unconsolidated undrained triaxial compression tests were also performed on soil samples obtained at 3 m depth. The cell pressures and deviator stress recorded at failure were as follows: Table 5. UU triaxial test results Cell pressure (kPa) 50 100 200 Deviator stress at failure (kPa) 102 158 260 Draw the Mohr’s circles that correspond to each of the tests above and determine the appropriate shear strength parameters of the soil. Please also comment on the observed variability of these results.
