An unconfined compression test is conducted on a specimen of a saturated soft clay. The specimen is 1.40 in. in diameter and 3.10 in. high. The load indicated by the load transducer at failure is 25.75 pounds and the axial deformation imposed on the specimen failure is 2/5 in.
An unconfined compression test is conducted on a specimen of a saturated soft clay. The specimen is 1.40 in. in diameter and 3.10 in, high. The load indicated by the load transducer at failure is 25.75 pounds and the axial deformation imposed on the specimen at failure is 2/5 in. It is desired to perform the following tasks: 1.) Plot the total stress Mohr circle at failure; 2.) Calculate the unconfined compressive strength of the specimen, and 3.) Calculate the shear strength of the specimen; and 4.) The pore pressure at failure is measured to be 5.0 psi below atmospheric pressure. plot the effective stress circle for this condition.
