Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a soil with a cohesion of 5 kPa and an angle of internal friction of 30 degrees, calculate the shear strength at a total normal stress of 100 kPa using the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion.
💡 Hint: Don't forget to convert the angle to radians if using a calculator that requires it.
Question 2
Discuss the impact of different pore water pressures on effective stress during a consolidated-undrained test.
💡 Hint: Think about how water affects soil structure and strength.
