Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
You are given a clay sample with a known pore water pressure parameter A = 0.65. If the confining pressure σ3 is 100 kPa and you apply an axial stress resulting in a difference of σ1 - σ3 = 50 kPa, calculate the pore water pressure during the test.
💡 Hint: Pay attention to how A influences pore water pressure.
Question 2
Consider a soil with cohesion (c) of 25 kPa and angle of internal friction (ϕ) of 30 degrees. Using Mohr’s Circle, describe how to find the maximum shear stress at failure.
💡 Hint: Recall how the geometry of Mohr’s Circle relates to the stresses involved.
