Question

- The results of some drained triaxial tests on a clay soil are given below.
Failure of each specimen was caused by increasing the axial stress while the
radial stress was kept constant.
(a) Determine ϕ for the soil
(b) Determine Hvorslev’s parameter ϕc and ce at moisture content of 24.2,
22.1, and 18.1%.
