Question

Two samples of a soil were tested in a triaxial machine. The all-round pressure maintained

for the first was 2.3 kg/cm2 & failure occurred at additional axial stress of 7.6 kg/cm2

, while for

the second test, these values were 5.7 kg/cm2 & 13.8 kg/cm2

respectively. Find c & φ of the

soil. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Triaxial shear strength test on soil measures the mechanical properties of the soil. In this test, soil sample is subjected to stress, such that the stress resulted in one direction will be different ... The triaxial shear testing can be conducted by two steps: ... Here the cell pressure is maintained to a constant value and the applied ...
