7.12 A sand specimen was subjected to a drained shear test using hollow cylin- der test equipment. Failure was caused by increasing the inside pressure while keeping the outside pressure constant. At failure, o, = 193 kN/m² and o; = 264 kN/m². The inside and outside radii of the specimen were 40 and 60 mm, respectively. (a) Calculate the soil friction angle. (b) Calculate the axial stress on the specimen at failure.
A consolidated-undrained tri-axial was conducted on a normally consolidated clay sample and the results are as follows: chamber confirming pressure = 107 kPa, Deviator stress at failure = 95 kPa, Pore Water Pressure = 50 kPa. these results were used to determine the drained friction angle of the soil.
