Samples have been obtained from both soil strata shown in the figure below. A series of shear strength tests were then performed on both samples and plotted in diagrams below. The c' and o' values obtained from these diagrams are shown in the figure below. Using this data, compute the shear strength on the horizontal and vertical planes at points 4, B, and C.

use the attached graph paper) A series of direct shear tests was performed on a soil sample. Each test was carried out until the specimen sheared (failed). The laboratory data for the tests are tabulated as follows. Determine the soil's cohesion and angle of internal friction. Specimen Number 1 2 3 4 Normal Stress (kN/m²) 1200 1900 3000 4875 Shearing Stress (kN/m²) 2175 2310 2910 3615
Please explain the steps and how calculations were done I am studying to understand concept
Q # 1. Organic soils are typically characterized by high void ratio, low specific gravity, and high compressibility. Following are the results of a consolidation test on a sample of organic soil. Pressure, o (kN/m2) Change in dial reading, AH (mm) 0.284 12 0.150 24 0.315 48 0.564 100 0.823 200 2.25 400 5.34 Given that the initial height of the specimen = 20.6 mm, mass of dry specimen = 12 g, area of specimen = 31.67 cm2 and G, = 2.49. Plot the e, log o' curve. b. Determine the preconsolidation pressure. a.
A consolidated undrained tri-axial test was conducted on a normally consolidated clay sample and the results are as follows: chamber confining pressure = 110kpa deviator stress at failure = 96kpa pore water pressure = 66kpa these test results were used to determine the drained friction angle of the soil. compute the deviator stress in (kpa) at failure when the drained test was conducted with the chamber confining pressure changed to 163kpa.
(From Chapter 7) 6. A sample of normally consolidated clay was obtained by a Shelby tube sampler from the midheight of a normally consolidated clay layer (see Figure 7-34). A consolidation test was conducted on a portion of this sample, the results of which are given as follows: FIGURE 7-34 Water Table 9 ft. square Sand and Gravel Unit Weight = 120 lb/ft³ Normally Consolidated Clay Unit Weight = 103 lb/ft³ Gravel and Sand Unit Weight = 125 lb/ft³ p (tons/ft²) 0.250 0.500 1.00 2.00 4.00 8.00 16.00 e Elevation 100 ft 1.72 1.70 1.64 1.51 1.34 1.15 0.95 Elevation 94 ft 1. Natural (initial) void ratio of the clay existing in the field (eo) = 1.80. 2. Pressure-void ratio relationships are as follows: Elevation 85 ft Elevation 76 ft A footing is to be constructed 6 ft below ground surface, as shown in Figure 7-34. The base of the footing is 9 ft by 9 ft, and it carries a total load of 200 tons, which includes the column load, weight of footing, and weight of soil surcharge on the footing. a.…
