1.9
Estimate the magnitude of k of the clay at a void ratio (e) of 0,9. Use Eq. (2,41).
A consolidated-undrained test determines that the shear strength of a normally consolidated clay is given by τf = σ’tan 27o. The confining pressure is 150 kPa, and deviator stress at failure is 120 kPa.• Find the consolidated-undrained friction angle• Pore water pressure developed in the specimen at failureFinal answer should be in 3 decimal places.
