A consolidated-undrained tri-axial test was conducted on a normally conslidated clay sample and the results are follows: Chamber confining pressure= 119kpa Deviator Stress at failure=90 kpa Pore water pressure= 58kpa These results were used to determine the drained friction angle of the soil. Compute the deviator stress (kpa) at failure when the drained test was conducted with the chamber confining pressure changed to 156 kpa.
