The undrained cohesion of a remoulded clay soil is 10 kN/m2.

Home » Soil Mechanics » Soil mechanics miscellaneous » Question

The undrained cohesion of a remoulded clay soil is 10 kN/m². If the sensitivity of the clay is 20, the corresponding remoulded compressive strength is

1. 5 kN/m²
2. 10 kN/m²
3. 20 kN/m²
4. 200 kN/m²

Correct Option: C

C_u = 10 kN/m²
q_u = 2C_u
= 2 × 10 = 20 kN/m²
