Question
The radius of Mohr circle drawn for unconfined compression test on saturated clay is equal to
A.
B.
The apparent cohesion
C.
The unconfined compressive strength
D.
Answer ( Option B)

The apparent cohesion

Solution

As we know that for unconfined compression test, σ3=0
Hence, Mohr circle drawn for unconfined compression test on saturated clay (Φ=0) as follows
 ∴From the mohr circle drawn above, we can see that the radius of mohr circle is equal to apparent cohesion.
