A consolidated undrained (CU) triaxial compression test (TXC) was conducted on a specimen of saturated clay. The specimen was isotropically consolidated to a total cell pressure, σcell of 400 kPa. The backpressure was u0 = 100 kPa. At failure, the total pore water pressure was u = 90 kPa and the deviator stress was (σ1 − σ3)f = 526 kPa. Determine: a. The principal effective stresses, σ1′ and σ3′, at failure b. The friction angle, φ′ (secant method). c. The...

Problem 3: A consolidated-drained triaxial test is carried out on a sand specimen that is subjected to 80 kN/m2 confining pressure. The vertical deviator stress was increased slowly such that there is no built-up of pore water pressure within the specimen. The specimen failed when the addition axial stress reached 240 kN/m2. Find the friction angle of the sand. If another identical sand specimen was subjected to 150 kN/m? confining pressure, what would be the deviator stress at failure.
