Q: A consolidated-drained tri-axial test was conducted on a normally consolidated clay. The results are as following: confining stress, G3 = 150 kN/m² and deviator stress, (Aod)t = 150 kN/m². i) Determine angle of friction, q; ii) Determine angle 0 that the failure plane makes with the major principal plane; iii) Find the normal stress and the shear stress ty on the failure plane; and iv) Determine the effective normal stress on the plane of maximum shear stress. Express your results in two decimal places.

A normally consolidated clay layer 4.38 m. thick has a void ratio of 1.06. Liquid limit is equal to 37 and the average effective stress on the clay layer was 79 kPa. The average stress on it is increased to 117 kPa. as result of the construction of a foundation. If the clay layer is preconsolidated, compute the consolidation settlement in millimeters if the preconsolidation pressure is 138 KPa. Use Cs = 1/6Cc.
