7. A normally consolidated clay sample is obtained from 5 m below ground surface (Point A). The undrained shear strength determined by Unconsolidated-Undrained (UU) test is 30 kPa. Please answer the following questions and present detailed computation or explanation: (10%) (a) The undrained shear strength of a soil sample of the same clay stratum taken at a depth 10 m below ground surface (Point B). (b) If the same clay is overconsolidated and has an overconsolidation ratio of 5, what would be undrained shear strength of the overconsolidated clay at a depth 10 m below ground surface (Point B). Ground Surface 5 m Saturated Clay Yar 18.6 kN/m³ w 24.5% A ● B. * 5 m
