A drained triaxial test on the normally consolidated clay showed that the failure plane makes an angle of 58 with the horizontal. If the sample was tested with a chamber confining pressure of 103.5KPA, what was the major principal stress at failure? (Unit in kPa) (Answer only number(whole number without unit) *

Measuring is the comparison of a particular physical quantity with its reference value. A unit is a fixed physical quantity. The length is a physical quantity. A physical quantity is the product of a unit and the numerical value we need to compare with.
