eslblem 2 25 pt)oe Two triaxial compression tests are conducted on identical specimens of the same saturated clay. In the first test the soil is first consolidated to ?.-350 kPa and u.-200 kPa and then sheared under drained conditions increasing the axial stress while keeping the chamber pressure constant. At failure ?i 560 kPa. In the second test, the specimen is consolidated to ?.-600 kPa and uo-400 kPa, then it is sheared under undrained conditions increasing the axial stress while...

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.
