The tests were completed on progressively denser soil samples. The undrained shear strength for a dry compacted soil specimen may range to over 50 psi. The first two tests had values of 45.9 psi ad 42.35psi. While the third value is 55.39 psi, due partial saturation of the sample, the results may not be valid. The angle of failure was approximately 36.5º. Had the third sample not been contaminated, it would be expected that it would have an angle of failure near this value as well, instead had a slightly higher value
of 40º. The modulus of elasticity was showing signs of steadily increasing with an increase in sample density, however the third test again must be removed from analysis as it was partially saturated and the strain rate of an unsaturated soil is faster than that of a partially saturated sample (air permeability is higher than water permeability). These results will provide an estimate of how the same soil sample will react in field conditions, however being in ideal lab conditions the values will differ slightly.
