A soil element is loaded from state A to B. The stress values for the two states are A(p'=50 kPa, q=20 kPa), and B(p'=280 kPa, q=120 kPa). The bulk modulus of the soil is 1000 kPa, and its shear modulus is 1300 kPa. Work out the volumetric strain increment from the loading.
A soil has c′ = 5 kPa and f′ = 32°. The effective stress at a point in the soil is 125 kPa. Com-pute the shear strength normal to this stress at this point.
