    The sample soil underwent consolidated undrained triaxial tests at three different cell pressures. From the test results, the deviatoric stress-axial strain curve and modulus of elasticity were determined. Shear strength parameters were also calculated. Effective stress analysis showed the soil has a cohesion intercept of 0 and friction angle of 37 degrees. Total stress parameters were a cohesion of 40 kPa and friction angle of 25 degrees.

    EXAMPLE 1.

    CU test

    Sample: D0 = 38 mm, H0 = 76 mm
    Pore water pressure at failure: u100 = 10 kPa, u200 = 61.6 kPa, u300 = 113.2 kPa

    Required : a) The deviatoric stress – axial strain curve and modulus


    of elasticity of the soil
    b) Shear strength parameters (effective & total)
    1
    SOLUTION 1.3
    Strategy: Prepare a table or a spreadsheet and calculate the axial strain,
    corrected area, and deviatoric stress for the given data.

    (a) A sample calculation for axial deformation of 4.75 mm is shown below:

    Step 1: Calculate the initial area A0

      D 2   38.0 2
    A0    10 6 m2 = 1.134×10-3 m2
    4 4

    Step 2: Calculate the axial strain. Use Eqn. (1.26).


    z 4.75
    1    0.0625
    H0 76
    Step 3: Calculate the corrected area. Use Eqn. (1.30).
    Note that for CU test p = 0

    A0 1.134  10 3
    A   1.2097  10 3
    (1   1 ) (1  0.0625)

    2
    Step 4: Calculate the deviatoric stress

    For 3 = 100 kPa


    Deviatoric stress = 328/1.21×10-3 = 271.9 kPa

    For 3 = 200 kPa


    Deviatoric stress = 499/1.21×10-3 = 412.5 kPa

    For 3 = 300 kPa


    Deviatoric stress = 661.2/1.21×10-3 = 546.6 kPa

    The calculated results are summarized in the table below.

    Step 5: Determine the modulus of elasticity

    For 3 = 100 kPa


    Ei = 110.0/0.0125 = 8800 kPa.
    5
    For 3 = 200 kPa
    Ei = 135.6/0.0125 = 10848 kPa.

    For 3 = 300 kPa


    Ei = 160.0/0.0125 = 12800 kPa.

    (b) Determine the shear strength parameters.

    Step 1: Calculate 1 at failure for each test

    For 3 =100 kPa, 1 = 100 + 271.9 = 371.9 kPa.

    For 3 =200 kPa, 1 = 200 + 418.3 = 618.3 kPa.

    For 3 =100 kPa, 1 = 300 + 564.7 = 864.7 kPa.

    Step 2: Calculate ’1 and ’3 at failure for each test


    For 3 =100 kPa,

    ’3 = 100 - 10 = 90 kPa, ’1 = 371.9 - 10 = 361.9 kPa


    6
    For 3 =200 kPa,

    ’3 = 200 – 61.6 = 138.4 kPa, ’1 = 618.3 – 61.6 = 556.7 kPa

    For 3 =300 kPa,

    ’3 = 300 – 113.2 = 186.8 kPa, ’1 = 864.7-113.2=751.5 kPa.

    Step 2: Draw the Mohr circles and extract the shear strength
    parameters.

    Effective stress parameters: c’ = 0 and ’ = 370

    Total stress parameters: c = 40 kPa and = 250
