Question

The results shown in the following table were obtained at the peak in a series of CU tests with constant cell pressure (isotropic) for a given soil.

Cell Pressure (σc, kPa) Axial Stress at Failure (σd, kPa) Pore Pressure (Δu, kPa)
100 260 30
200 450 60

a) draw the effective stress path using p-q diagram of each test.

b) draw s-t stress paths (effective) and determine the shear strength parametres (Φ', c') using Kf - line.
