The following results were obtained from an oedometer test on a specimen of saturated clay: 54 107 214 429 214 107 54 27 Pressure (kPa): 1.024 1.012 1.001 0.994 1.068 1.144 1.217 1.243 Void ratio: A layer of this clay 8 m thick lies below a 4 m depth of sand, the water table being at the surface. The saturated unit weight for both soils =19 kN/m3=19 kN/m3. A 4 m depth of fill, unit weight =21 kN/m3=21 kN/m3, is placed on the sand over an extensive area.

A given saturated clay is known to have effective strength parameters of c' = 10 kPa and = 28°. A sample of this clay was brought to failure quickly so that no dissipation of the pore water pressures %3D could occur. At failure it was known that o KPa, o = 10 KPa and = 20 kPa. %3D (a) Estimate the values of o, and oz at failure (b) Use the Mohr circle to illustrate the effective stress and total failure stress.
During an oedometer test on a specimen of saturated clay, the thickness of the specimen decreased from 19.931 mm to 19.720 mm under an increment of stress from 200 to 400 kPa which was maintained for 24 hours. The stress was then removed from the specimen, its thickness was measured as 19.842 mm, and its water content determined as 26.8%. Taking Gs of the particles to be 2.70, calculate the void ratio before and after the application of the stress increment, and the coefficient of volume decrease (m,) for this stress range. (Ans: e,= 0.731, ez= 0.713, m, = 0.052 m²/MN)
