Initial tangent and Secant Stress Strain Modulus Es
(B P124)
E is also determined as secant modulus between origin and 1/3 of the peak stress, or over the actual stress range in the particular problem

Determination of Stress Strain Modulus Es (B P-313)
U=Unconsolidated Undrained Triaxial Test CU= Consolidated Undrained Triaxial Test CKoU=Consolidated to Ko and tested undrained i.e Consolidated with some vertical pressure and with lateral pressure set to an estimate of field value of Kov

In situ Tests: Stress Strain Modulus Es (B P-314)
Because of the effects of sampling disturbance, it is preferable to determine E (or G) from the results of in-situ tests.

Finding Secant Modulus Es (B P-324)
=35 Ko=1-sin=0.426 Overburden pressures: v1 at No.1 = 34.6 kPa Overburden pressures: v2 at No.2 = 80.6 kPa Lateral earthpressure 3 at No.1 = Ko v1 = 14.7 kPa (use 20 kPa) 3 at No.2 = Ko v2 = (use 40 kPa) Run triaxial tests under 20 and 40 kPa of cell pressure – i.e. consolidating under Ko condition

Determination of Stress Strain Modulus Es (B P-324)
(1-3) in test corresponding to the site is q: q = qv – qh = qv – Ko qv q = qv (1-Ko) = P/A (1-Ko) = 2100/9 (1-0.426) = 133.9 kPa So (1-3) = 133.9 kPa Secant Modulus (curve-1): 1=7x10-3 for (1-3) = 133.9 kPa Secant modulus Es = 133.9 / 7e-3 = 19130 kPa

Depth to 0.1q for Strip Area with q
z = q/ { + sin() cos(+2)}
= -/2
0.1q = q/ { + sin() cos(0)}
0.314 = {/57.3 + sin()}

Problem (Bowels P331)
Find average stress increase in 10 ft thick clay layer using slope 2:1
method

Problem (Bowels P331)
Find average stress increase in 10 ft thick clay layer using slope 2:1
method
Z1=6ft, z2= 16 ft, H=10ft, Q=375 kips, B=8 ft
qv, average increase in stress = -375/10 [ 1/(8+16) – 1/(8+6) ]
= -37.5 (-0.02976) = 1.11 ksf
=Q/(B+z1)(B+z2_)

Problem (Bowels P331)
Find average stress increase in 10 ft thick clay layer using Boussinesq
equation

Assignment (Bowels P331)
Resolve the problem assuming the footing is circular 9 feet
diameter.
9 feet dia is chosen to get
same contact stress as for
the 8x8 feet rectangular
footing.

Assignment (Bowels P331)
Apply Simpson’s Rule: z(avg)= 2.5/10 [ (2.877+0.63)/2 + 1.827 + 1.22 + 0.86 ] = 1.415 ksf
