A consolidated undrained (CU) compression test was conducted on a saturated clay soil by isotopic ally consolidating the soil using a cell pressure of 150 kPa and then incrementally applying loads on the plunger while keeping the cell pressure constant. Failure was observed when the stress exerted by the plunger (deviator stress) was 160 kPa and the pore water pressure was 54 kPa. Determine the undrained shear strength of the clay. Determine the undrained friction angle. Determine the drained friction angle.
