A normally consolidated clay is consolidated under a stress of 03 =125 kPa, then sheared undrained in a triaxial compression. The principal stress difference (deviatoric stress) at failure is(o1 – 03)f =250 kPa and the induced pore - pressure isAuf =40 kPa. Calculate the minor principal stress at failure in term of %3D effective stress 03f? (Unit: kPa)
