An unconfined compression test on a soil will allow the user to (pick all that apply): provide strength parameters for undrained (i.e. total stress) analyses in geotechnical design provide strength parameters for drained (i.e. effective stress) analyses in geotechnical design find the weakest plane of resistance in the soil (undrained) determine the friction angle of the soil determine the undrained shear strength of the soil | determine the effective cohesion of the soil

(a) In an unconfined compression test on a saturated clay, the maximum proving ring dial reading recorded was 240x103 mm, when the axial shortening of the specimen having an initial height of 70 mm and an initial diameter of 36 mm, is 12 mm. If the calibration factor of the proving ring is 3.2 N/10³ mm, calculate the unconfined compressive strength and the undrained shear strength of the clay.
Determine the complete state of stress (δz , δr , δt ) using one layer theory under thecenterline of a tire having 50000 Ib load, 100psi pressure for the following depth-tireradius ratios: 0, 0.5, 2. Assume the pavement is characterized by μ = 0.5 and E =3000psi.
Write a brief note about stresses in soil layers. And the effect of degree of saturation on effective stresses
A cohesive soil sample is subjected to an unconfined compression test. The sample fails at a pressure of 3850 lb/ft2 [i.e., unconfined compressive strength lb/ft2]. Determine the soil’s cohesion. If an unconfined compression test is performed on the same clayey soil, what axial load can be expected at failure?
Shear Stress 5. Please provide proper discussion and illustration. Clear and complete solution please thank you. A clay soil has an undrained shear strength (cohesion, Cu) of 800 psf. How could the strength of this soil be increased?
