Required:the soil parameters due to total and effective stress.
1, Given: Undrained Trixial test on saturated pure clayey layer with the following
(o, / as) max = 4.0
data:
O,- 150kPa
Required: Values of (C & 0)
C.Given: From shear strength formula (S-C+o tan 0) lt is found that this equation
will be (S- 50 + o tan 30 when shearing a clayey sample at cell
pressure(os=50kPa)
Required: a- the value of deviator stress
b- the value of cohesion( C) if ( =35°)due to effective stress and
pore water pressure (U) = 20kPa
