Download Solution PDFThe unconfined compressive strength of a saturated clay is 64 kPa. The value of cohesion factor for the clay is:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFConcept:
The unconfined strength (qu) for pure clay soil (C-soil);
\(q_u=2C \)
Where qu = unconfined compressive strength, and C = cohesion or cohesive strength of clay (C-soil).
Calculation:
Given
Unconfined compressive strength of a clay (qu) = 64 kPa
64 = 2C
C = 32 kPa
Cohesion or cohesive strength of clay (C) = 32 kPa
Hence option (3) is the correct answer.
