(a) Briefly explain Mohr-Coulomb theory and show how we can determine the shear strength parameters of soil by plotting the shear stress versus normal stress. [3 marks] The following results were obtained from a consolidated undrained Triaxial (CU) test with pore water pressure measurement on three samples of a fully saturated clay. Determine the total (undrained) stress and effective (drained) stress parameters. [12 marks] Sample Cell pressure (kN/m2) Deviator stress at failure (kN/m2) Pore pressure at failure (kN/m2) A 300...

For the soil strata, draw diagrams indicating the total stress, pore pressure and effective stress profiles to the bottom of clay layer. Fine sand has a thickness of 6 m (FST) with saturated unit weight of 18 kN/m2. Clay has a thickness of 8 m with saturated unit weight of 14 kN/m3 The water table is located at depth of 0.7 of fine sand thickness below the ground surface (i.e. depth=0.7*FST). Fine sand will sustain capillarity (suction). Assume the same...
