Consolidated Undrained Triaxial Testing of a Fine Grained Soil Introduction A consolidated undrained triaxial test was carried out by 16 separate groups to give a broad appreciation of soil behaviour by plotting the resulting effective stress paths. Results To determine the value of Skempton’s B‚ the cell pressure was increased by 100kpa. The value of B indicates whether the sample is saturated or not; a value approaching 1 is expected for a fully saturated material. The change in pore water

TRIAXIAL TEST (UNCONSOLIDATION UNDRAINED) INTRODUCTION The purpose of the test is to determine the undrained shear strength and cohesion of cohesive soil. PROCEDURE a. Three set of soil specimens with a dimension of 78 mm height and 38 mm diameter are prepared. The specimens are weighed. b. The specimen is placed on the lower end cap and the top cap on the upper end of the specimen. The entire specimen is covered with rubber membrane and rubber O-rings is fitted on top and bottom

Application of the Triaxial test in engineering practice The information such as the shear strength parameters and the cohesion that obtained from triaxial test can be used to check the safety and predict the behaviors of long-term stability of slopes‚ earth fills and earth retaining structures. The analysis carried out in terms of total stress obtained from undrained test can be used to investigate the initial stability of the foundation of a structure or embankment on saturated clay. Alternatively

Experiment 22: Triaxial Compression Test Why: The main reason that engineers conduct the Triaxial Compression Test is to obtain the shear strength parameters of a soil specimen. These parameters include vital information concerning the overall shear strength of the sample‚ such as the soil’s cohesion and angle of internal friction. This information can then be used to obtain an accurate analysis of the soil’s shear strength. Although there are several types of tests used to determine

Introduction The unconsolidated undrained (UU) Triaxial Test is a quick method of estimating the shear strength of a soil. The soil which undergoes the test is sheared to failure without prior consolidation meaning this test is perfect for soil samples which are undisturbed however this is never the case. This means that results have to be interpreted with care so the undrained shear strength of the soil is not underestimated. For the purpose of this test I used the results posted by Dr.Brian Mc

Online Mock Test and Exam Management System Abstract Online Examination System is a software solution‚ which allows a particular company or institute to arrange‚ conduct and manage examinations via an online environment. This can be done through the Internet‚ Intranet and/or Local Area Network environments. Some of the problems faced by manual examination systems are delays in result processing‚ filing poses a problem‚ filtering of records is not easy‚ The chance of loss of records is high
