Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a soil specimen with an initial pore pressure of 50 kPa, determine how this might affect the failure envelope on a CU test when the axial stress applied is 100 kPa.
💡 Hint: Focus on how effective stress impacts the failure conditions.
Question 2
For a CU test, if the cohesion (c) of the soil sample is found to be 10 kPa, what would be the expected shear strength at a stress of 60 kPa?
💡 Hint: Use the Mohr-Coulomb equation to calculate shear strength.
