Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
In a Vane Shear Test performed in a soft clay layer, the maximum torque recorded was 45 Nm. If the shear vane has a diameter of 10 cm and a height of 20 cm, calculate the undrained shear strength (c_u).
💡 Hint: Make sure to convert units correctly and apply the proper formula.
Question 2
Discuss the effects of varying the shear strength mobilization pattern on the design of a retaining wall in a cohesive soil layer.
💡 Hint: Reflect on the impact of soil behavior in different scenarios.
