Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
You are analyzing a soil sample with a diameter of 10 cm and a height of 15 cm using the Vane Shear Test. The maximum torque recorded at failure is 300 Nm. Calculate the undrained shear strength.
💡 Hint: Break down the steps in your calculation.
Question 2
Compare the impacts of assuming triangular versus uniform shear strength mobilization on the final shear strength value obtained from a vane shear test.
💡 Hint: Think about how strength values influence slope stability.
