What is the equivalent constrained modulus in psf if the initial stress is 418 psf, the change in stress is 1204 psf, and the maximum past pressure is 418 psf? The initial void ratio is 1.29. The compression index is 0.26.
(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.
An explanation of the void ratio and permeability relationship.
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.
