5. A consolidated, undrained triaxial test is being carried out on a normally consolidated clay where c - 0 and p'= 26'. The triaxial specimen was consolidated under a cell pressure of 300 kPa and backpressure of 80 kPa. Skempton's A parameter at failure is estimated to be 0.80. The drainage valve has since been dosed and the vertical deviator stress increased to failure. What would be the deviator stress and pore water pressure at failure?

A consolidated undrained triaxial test was performed on a normally consolidated clay with a critical state friction angle of 230. After an initial isotropic consolidation at a cell pressure of 50 kPa, drainage was turned off, the cell pressure was increased to 85 kPa, and the sample was loaded to ultimate conditions. A pore pressure of 55 kPa was measured at ultimate state. What value of major principal total stress was measured at the ultimate state?
It is known that a particular deposit of clay has the following shear strength parameters: c' = 15 kPa, o' = 23°; Cu = 10 kPa, cu = 13° A sample of this clay is consolidated in a triaxial cell to an all-round pressure (03) of 250 kPa.
