Question
![The text details the results of consolidated drained triaxial tests conducted on two specimens of soil. The objective is to determine the values of cohesion (c) and the angle of friction (φ) for the soil.
### Data Table:
| Test No. | Confining Pressure (σ₃ [kN/m²]) | Deviator Stress at Failure (Δσf [kN/m²]) |
|----------|--------------------------------|-----------------------------------------|
| 1 | 80 | 456.5 |
| 2 | 95 | 485.2 |
This table lists the confining pressure and deviator stress at failure for two separate tests. The values are given in kilonewtons per square meter (kN/m²).
To analyze these results, one would typically use the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion to compute the soil's cohesion and angle of internal friction based on the given pressures and stresses.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fe38bbf6b-f72d-45f6-b779-5783494b3fda%2F234ac797-a8a8-4ca5-a502-60e27058c781%2F5j5gh6q_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
