    The document provides instructions for an assessment due by the end of November 10th, 2021 for a geotechnical engineering course. Students are told to use the last two digits of their registration number, excluding the year, for values of x and y in equations. The equations give the point of failure shear stress as (58 + 2y) KN/m2 and normal stress as (90+ 2x) KN/m2 for a direct shear test on dense sand. Students are instructed to sketch these values on a Mohr's circle diagram for a cohesionless granular soil, and calculate and label the circle radius, internal friction angle, principal stress magnitudes and orientations.

    CEEN 324: GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING I
    ASSESSMENT I, OCT./NOV. 2021

    In all cases take x and y to be your second last and last values respectively of your
    registration number while excluding the values of year of entry/cohort e.g. for
    B12/04567/19, x=6 & y=7.
    Assume in a direct shear test, on densed sand:
    point of failure of shear stress is (58 + 2y) KN/m2
    Normal stress: (90+ 2x) KN/m2
    Assume the soil is granular and cohesionless. Sketch the above line on the Morh circle (not
    to scale) also on the sketch:-

    I) The lines indicating failure plane, minor and major principle plane orientations
    ii) Calculate the values for Morh circle radius, angle of internal friction, magnitudes for
    major & minor principle planes and angles for orientation for the principle planes and
    indicate them on the Morh circle sketch
