Job

A specimen of saturated soil was in a cell pressure of 100 kN/m². The axial stress was then increased and drainage was prevented. The specimen failed when the axial deviator stress reached 80 kN/m² and pore water pressure 40 kN/m². Determine the consolidated angle of shearing resistance o, and drained friction angle, φ'.

Ans :

Consolidated angle of shearing resistance, 

Here, 
σ3=100kN/m2
σ1=100+80=180kN/m2
udf=40kN/m2
φ =? : 
φ' =? :

φ=sin-1σ1-σ3σ1+σ3=sin-1 180-100180+100=16.60 (Ans) 

Drained friction angle, 

φ'=sin-1 σ1-σ3σ1+σ3-2udf=sin180-100180+100-2×40 = 23.58° (Ans)
