A clay soil specimen when tested in unconfined condition gave an unconfined compressive strength of 100 kN/m2. A specimen of the same clay with the same initial condition is subjected to a UU triaxial test under a cell pressure of 100 kN/m2. The axial stress (in kN/m2) at failure would be-A-150B-200C-250D-300-B-200

Question

APTITUDE CRACK · Accepted Answer

The correct option is  B 200 The correct answer is B. An unconfined compressive strength qu = 100 KN/m2. for uu test &sigma;1/&sigma;3=&sigma;1/&#39;&sigma;3=qu &sigma;1=&sigma;1= 100 + 100 = 200 KN/m2.
