2. A soil specimen is subjected to a tri-axial test. The soilspecimen is cohesionless. If the shear stress that causesfailure is 280 kPa and the normal stress at failure is only480 kPa.a) Determine the angle of shearing resistance,b) Determine the angle that the failure planemeasured from the major principal plane.c) Determine the total axial stress at which failure isexpected to occur.
The soil profile at a site consists of 10 m of gravelly sand underlain by a soft clay layer. The water table lies 1 m below the ground level. The moist and saturated unit weights of the gravelly sand are 17.0 kN/m3 and 20.0 kN/m3, respectively. Due to some ongoing construction work, it is proposed to lower the water table to 3 m below the ground level. What will be the change in the effective stress on top of the soft clay layer?
