2) Table 1 contains data obtained from consolidated undrained tests on soft clay. You need to determine the shear strength parameters in term of total stress and effective stress. A different specimen of the same soil is also tested in undrained triaxial compression at a cell pressure of 150 kN/m2, and fails when the deviator stress is 75 kN/m2. Calculate the pore pressure in the specimen failure. In your opinion, what is the differences between total stress and effective stress?
