In an in-situ vane shear test on a saturated clay, a torque of 35 Nm was required to shear the soil. The diameter of the vane was 60 mm and length 100 mm. The vane was then rotated rapidly to cause remoulding of the soil. The torque required to shear the soil in this case was 5 Nm. The sensitivity of the clay will be
In a triaxial tests carried out on a sand sample with cell pressure 20 kPa, the observed value of applied stress at the point of failure is 4 kPa. The angle of internal friction on the soil is? mmmmm
An undisturbed soil sample, 110 mm in diameter and 220 mm in height, was tested in atriaxial machine. The sample sheared under an additional axial load of 3.35 kN with avertical deformation of 21 mm. The failure plane was inclined at 50˚ to the horizontal and the cell pressure was 300 kN/m2. i. Draw the Mohr circle diagram representing the above stress conditions, and from it determine:− Coulomb’s equation for the shear strength of the soil, in terms of total stress;− the magnitude and obliquity of the resultant stress on the failure plane.
Select all true statements. In triaxial loading: U The confining pressure (o3) is progressively increased to break the sample subjected to uniform principal stresses (ol = o2). When initially loaded, the rock specimen compresses and then begins to dilate as a result of internal fracturing. When the water pressure increases, there is a transition from ductile to brittle behavior. When the confining pressure decreases, the behavior changes from strain- softening to strain-hardening.

A direct shear test is performed on a specimen of dry sand. The shear box is circular in cross-section with a diameter of 50 mm. The normal force imposed on the specimen is 250 N. Then shears when the shear force is 150 N. Determine the angle of internal friction of this sand.
