A sample of pure Clay, (C) soil with two specimens underwent an unconsolidated undrained test with a cell pressure of 50 kN/m2 and 100 kN/m2. The test is under short term analysis test. The results are as followings. From the result below, what is the shear strength of the soil? Cell pressure, kN/m² 50 100 Max Maximum deviator stress, kN/m² 120 170
A direct shear test is performed on a soil sample with two different loads. In the first test, a normal stress of 55kPa is applied and the soil fails at a shear stress of 35kPa. In the second test, the soil failed at shear stress of 47kPa when a normal stress of 75 kPa was applied. Determine the values of internal friction angle and cohesion of the given soil sample.
(3) A direct shear test is used to find the shear strength of a soil. For two soil samples, the vertical stresses are 100 kPa and 300 kPa, and the corresponding shear stresses at failure are 57.7 kPa and 173.2 kPa, respectively. Please determine the strength parameters of this soil. 18 L m
Two different soil samples were subjected to the shear strength test, of which, the first cohesive soil specimen failed at the deviator test of 500 kN/m2, when the cell pressure of 400 kN/m2 was recorded in the tri-axial shear apparatus. The second soil sample with the coefficient of internal friction 30° was subjected to direct shear test. The proving ring constant value is 0.0001 N/µm and the soil failed at the constant normal stress of 600 kN/m2, when the dial gauge reading was observed as 50. Take the area of soil sample at failure as 100 cm2. What is the ratio of cohesion of the soil specimen (1) to soil specimen (2).
