Hello professor thank u
It is known that a particular deposit of clay has the following shear strength parameters: c' = 15 kPa, o' = 23°; Cu = 10 kPa, cu = 13° A sample of this clay is consolidated in a triaxial cell to an all-round pressure (03) of 250 kPa. The sample is then sheared by increasing 0₁, keeping 3 constant and the drainage valve closed. What is: i) ₁ at failure? ii) Pore water pressure inside the sample at failure? iii) Final values of 0₁' and 03'? iv) Value at failure of Skempton's pore pressure coefficient A?
