Two undrained triaxial tests were conducted on soil specimen, and they gave the following results: Sample Confining Pressure Deviator Stress A 350 kN/m² B 500 kN/m² 150 kN/m² 300 kN/m² The shear strength of sample A in the plane of it's normal stress is A 588 kPa B 283 kPa C 730 kPa D 165 kPa Correct Option
Assume that both a triaxial shear test and a direct shear test are to be performed on a sample of dry sand. When the triaxial shear test is performed, the specimen fails when the major and minor principal stresses are 80 and 20 lbs/in^2, respectively. When the direct shear test is performed, what shear strength can be expected if the normal stress is 4000 lbs/ft^2? Show all work.
Samples of a dry sand are to be tested in a direct shear test and a triaxial test. In the triaxial test, the sample fails when the major and minor principal stresses are 140 psi and 40 psi, respectively. What shear resistance is to be expected in the direct shear test when the normal load stress equals 5,000 psf?
A triaxial test performed on a clay sample, under unconsolidated-undrained (UU) conditions, reaches a maximum (failure) axial stress (major principal stress) of 150 kPa when the confining stress (minor principal stress) is 69 kPa. What is the value of cohesion C for this sample? Adjust your answer to ONE decimal place.
a) An unconfined compression test is performed on a cohesive soil (having no fissures) with an initial diameter and height of 50 mm and 100 mm, respectively. Measured deformation and load at the time of failure are given as 4 mm and 184 N, respectively. Find the undrained shear strength of this soil sample. b) Also, an unconsolidated undrained (UU) triaxial test is performed on the same specimen under o3=100 kPa. Draw the total stress-based Mohr circles for both tests and plot the Mohr- Coulomb failure envelope.

Samples of damp sand are tested in direct shear (samples are tested at the in situ water content). The procedure involves two separate tests, with different normal loads for each test. In test one, using a normal loading which causes a compressive stress equal to 50 kPa, the sample is failed at a shear stress equal to 33 kPa. For test two, the normal stress is 80 kPa and the sample shears at a stress of 51 kPa. Use this test data to determine the angle of internal friction and the value of apparent cohesion for this sand.
