Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a pore water pressure of 30 kPa and a total stress of 80 kPa, calculate the effective stress. Discuss what this means for the soil's behavior.
💡 Hint: Remember the effective stress formula!
Question 2
Consider a saturated clay with varying pore water pressures under one-dimensional loading. Illustrate using Mohr’s Circle how increased pore pressure could alter the failure envelope.
💡 Hint: Visual aid of Mohr's Circle will help understand the interactions!
