The effective stress parameters for a fully saturated clay are known to be c'=17KN/m3 and phi'=30degrees. In an unconsolidated undrained triaxial test on a specimen of the same clay, the chamber pressure sigma3 was 100KN/m2 and the principal stress differene (sigma1-sigma3) at failure was 180KN/m3. What was the value of pore water pressure in this specimen at failure?
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.
2.If an additional CU triaxial test with pore pressure measurement is to be performed using a ?3 of 250 kPa on a specimen identical to those in last Problem , estimate the deviator stress (?d) and pore pressure (u) of this additional test at failure. What would potentially be orientation of the failure plane in the specimen? The results below were obtained at failure in a series of consolidated-undrained (CU) triaxial tests, with pore pressure measurement, on specimens of fully...
