Concept explainers

Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.

Question

Hand written solution is not allowed

An isotropically-consolidated drained triaxial
compression test (ICD-TXC) is performed in the More Hall
geotechnical lab. A relatively fine dune sand specimen
from Florence, OR is isotropically-consolidated in a
triaxial test apparatus to cell' = 420 kPa and is then
sheared with the drainage valve open. At failure, the
deviator stress (1'-3') is 1046 kPa. Determine the major
principal stress (1f') at failure (in units of kPa).

3- A sand sample is subjected to drainage cutting test with a hollow cylinder device. Rupture occurs with increasing internal pressure while external pressure is constant. At the moment of rupture, the external stress is 200 kPa and the internal stress is 300| Kilopascals - be. Internal and external radii of the sample are 40 and 60 mm.

5. A consolidated, undrained triaxial test is being carried out on a normally consolidated clay where c - 0 and p'= 26'. The triaxial specimen was consolidated under a cell pressure of 300 kPa and backpressure of 80 kPa. Skempton's A parameter at failure is estimated to be 0.80.

(a) A dry sand sample is tested in direct shear.The test procedure includes having a normal(compressive) stress of 200 kPa imposedwhile the sample undergoes shearing. Thesample fails when the shear stress reaches135 kPa. From this data, determine theangle of internal friction o for the soil.(b) A second sample of the same sand is also tobe tested in direct shear, but the applied nor-mal (compressive) stress will be 145 kPa.What shear stress is expected to cause thesample to fail?
A triaxial test is performed on a normally consolidated clay. The sample is further consolidated by the test of all-around confining pressure prior to application of the axial load. The axial force is then applied very slowly. The equipment pore pressure lines remain open so that drainage of soil pore water can occur during the test. (The described conditions outline the procedure for a consolidated–drained-type test.) The sample fails (shears) when the σ3 pressure is 21 kPa and the s1 value is 61 kPa. From these data, determine the angle of internal friction for the effective stress strength–failure envelope (that is, determine fCD).
