The following report is a compilation of the results acquired as a result of two laboratories performed by Group 13 at McMaster University on February 1st and 15th‚ 2007. Four tests; Direct Shear‚ Vacuum Triaxial Compression‚ Unconsolidated and Undrained Triaxial and Unconfined Compression were carried out in order to assess the performance of our most ancient and complex engineering materials‚ sand and clay.

The objective of the exploration work was to determine the probable sub surface conditions such as stratification‚ denseness or hardness of the strata‚ position of ground water table etc. and to evaluate probable range of safe bearing capacity and shear strength for the structure. To fulfill the objective‚ the work carried out is comprises of: • Drilling one borehole up to the depth of 10.0m below existing ground level in order to know the sub surface stratification‚ conducting necessary field

engineers conduct the Triaxial Compression Test is to obtain the shear strength parameters of a soil specimen. These parameters include vital information concerning the overall shear strength of the sample‚ such as the soil’s cohesion and angle of internal friction. This information can then be used to obtain an accurate analysis of the soil’s shear strength. Although there are several types of tests used to determine the shear strength of a soil sample‚ the Triaxial Compression Test typically

Shear wave propagation in “thin” organs is affected by the mechanical properties of the tissues surrounding those organs. In order to obtain the proper mechanical properties of such boundary sensitive organs‚ an analytical solution for the dispersion curves on a plate surrounded by semi-infinite solids was derived and validated.
