Shear-strength-of-Soil

The effective stress strength parameters of soil are c'= 10 kPa and φ = 30^o, n shear strength on a plane within saturated soil mass at a point where total normal stress is 300 KPa and pore water pressure is 150 KPa, will be ________.

90.5 kPa 96.6 kPa 101.5 kPa 105.5 kPa

Concept:

Terzaghi established that the normal stresses which control the shear strength of the soil are effective stresses. Therefore, the shear strength of the soil can be written as

Shear strength, $S = c^{'} + \bar{σ} t a n ?^{'}$

where c' = cohesion intercept in terms of effective stress

$?^{'}$ = the angle of shearing resistance in terms of effective stress

$\bar{σ} =$ effective normal stress

Given:

c' = 10 kPa

φ = 30o

$σ =$ 300 kPa

u = 150 kPa

Calculations:

$\bar{σ} =$ $σ - u = 300 - 150 = 150$ kPa

S = 10 + (150) x tan30^o

= 96.6 KPa
