(a) In an unconfined compression test on a saturated clay, the maximum proving ring dial reading recorded was 240x103 mm, when the axial shortening of the specimen having an initial height of 70 mm and an initial diameter of 36 mm, is 12 mm. If the calibration factor of the proving ring is 3.2 N/10³ mm, calculate the unconfined compressive strength and the undrained shear strength of the clay.

A soil nail proposed to be installed under the conditions given below is designed against unfactored working force of 50KN. • Ground described as sandy gravel. • Soil nail installed at an angle of 10 degrees to the horizontal and 1.2 m below the ground surface. • Nail dimensions: total length = 5 m with 60% bonded, bonded diameter = 0.35 m, debonded diameter = 0.15 m Assuming parameters not given and considering the water able to be at the surface, propose the suitable type of soil nail and calculate the theoretical working factor of safety of the installed nail against pull out. Also, briefly discuss what would jeopardise your theoretical predictions of the nail performance.
A series of unconsolidated undrained (UU) triaxial compression tests have been performed on two "identical" clay specimens. The test results are as follows: Test Number Confining Pressure (kPa)| Deviator Stress at Failure (kPa) 102 96 (i) (ii) 1 2 50 100 Plot the total stress Mohr circles for both specimens at failure (indicate the major and minor principal stresses on the plot).

Tension specimens (diameter d0 0.500 in., gage length L0 2.00 in.) made of structural materials A and B are tested to failure in tension. (a) At failure the distances between the gage marks are LAf 2.90 in. and LBf 2.22 in.; the corresponding diameters at the failure cross sections are dAf 0.263 in. and dBf 0.471 in., respectively.
