What will be the shearing resistance of a sample of clay in an unconfined compression test, falls under a load of 150 N? Take change of cross-section Af=2181.7 mm2.
A cylindrical soil specimen of saturated clay, 3.50 cm diameter and 8 cm length, testing machine. The specimen failed under a vertical load of 50 kg together with an accompanying additional deformation of 8 mm. What is the unconfined compressive strength of this clay?
Field test for determining shear strength of soil is:
A dry sand specimen is put through a tri-axial test the cell pressure is 50 kPa and the deviator stress at failure is 100 kPa. The angle of internal friction for the sand specimen is
Most of the shear tests are done on equipment which are
Considerable loss of shear strength due to shock or disturbance is exhibited by
In a triaxial compression test, the major principal stress was 90 kPa and the minor principal stress was 30 kPa, at failure. The pore pressure at failure was observed to be 10 kPa. The tangent of the angle of shearing resistance of the sandy soil that was tested was
In the consolidated undrained triaxial test on a saturated soil sample, the pore water pressure is zero:
Expansion of soil under shear is called
In Mohr’s diagrams a point above Mohr’s envelope indicates:
