Pore pressure measurements were made during undrained triaxial tests on samples of compacted fill material from an earth dam as shown in Table Q5. Table Q5. Results of undrained triaxial tests Measured parameters Confining pressure, (kPa) 150 250 Deviator stress, (kPa) Pore water pressure, (kPa) 50 Test 1 Test 2 300 400 100 Test 3 3XY 5XY 120 Calculate the value of the effective principal stresses for each test (Test 1 to Test 3) and show the result on a sketch of a Mohr's circle diagram. Where X and Y are the last two digits of your student identity number.

Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.
