1. Using the laboratory test data given, plot the stress-strain curves, volume change curves and Mohr diagrams for the sandy gravel from Costa Rica and determine the values of the
parameters f0 and f, where the variations of f with s3 is given by an equation of the form:
= 0 log10

2. Several saturated samples of sand ( = 34) were consolidated in a triaxial cell to an effective pressure of 1.5 kg/cm2. All samples had the same void ratio after
consolidation, and had a critical confining pressure of 3.5 kg/cm2. Unconsolidatedundrained tests were then conducted having increases of cell pressure of 0.2, 0.5,
0.75, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 8.0 kg/cm2. For these tests:
a. Draw the total stress and effective stress Mohr's circle.
b. Draw the total and effective stress failure envelopes.

3. The critical confining pressure of a sand ( = 34) follows the relationship 3 3 3 0.6 crit con = + where 3con is the effective consolidation stress in kg/cm2. Three series of
consolidated-undrained tests (CU) were conducted with backpressures ( ) b u of 0.0, 1.0, and 2.0 kg/cm2. The effective consolidated stresses used; 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 8.0 and
10.0 kg/cm2; were the same for each series of test. Using this data:
a. Plot the effective stress circles and the effective stress envelope.
b. Plot the total stress circles and the total stress envelope.
c. Comment about the influence of back pressure on the total stress envelopes.
d. What would be the minimum back pressures to use if cavitation were to be prevented.
