Question 26 An unconfined compression test was conducted on a saturated clay sample with a diameter of 50 mm and a height of 100 mm. At the failure, the peak load was measured at 0.2 kN and the deformation at failure was 10.0 mm, calculate the unconfined compressive strength of the clay, qu =? (Unit: kPa Hint: apply an area correction) Your Answer: Answer CS Scanned with CamScanner
