A sample of normally consolidated clay was subjected to a consolidated undrained triaxial compression test that was carried out until the specimen failed at a deviator stress of 50 kN/m2. The pore water pressure at failure was recorded to be 20 kN/m2 and confining pressure of 50 kN/m2 was used in the test. Determine the consolidated undrained friction angle.

Test for Determination of Shear Strength

The term shear strength is often associated with the soil. Shear strength is defined as the resistance to the deformation of soil particles due to the continuous action of shear stress. In short, shear strength is the maximum shear stress that a soil can sustain.
