4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does the CU test measure?
Think about what the acronym CU refers to.
What parameters does the CU test help determine?
Consider what factors contribute to soil strength.
What does the CU test mainly assess?
Focus on the undrained condition.
True or False: The interpretation of CU test results can help design safe foundations.
Think about why shear strength is important in construction.
A triaxial test shows total stress at failure as 250 kPa with a pore water pressure of 70 kPa. Calculate the effective stress and interpret its significance.
Recall the effective stress principle.
Given various triaxial tests on saturated clay with different confining pressures, determine how changing conditions affect the shear strength parameters.
Think about how pressure influences overall soil strength.
