A conventional consolidated-drained (CD) triaxial test is conducted on a sand. The cell pressure is 100 kPa and the additional applied axial stress at failure is 200 kPa. Calculate (a) Plot the Mohr circle for the initial and failure condition (b) Determine Ø in degrees (assume c=0) (c) Determine the normal stress and shear stress on the failure plane (d) Determine the theoretical angle of the failure plane (e) Determine the maximum shear strength and the angle at which it acts.
