A triaxial test is conducted on a soil sample which was consolidated under a cell pressure of 550 kN/m² with a back pressure of 250 kN/m². Thereafter drainage was not allowed and cell pressure was raised to 675 kN/m² with pore water pressure reading of 360 kN/m.². After that the axial load is increased by 455 kN/m², and corresponding pore water pressure reading is 575 kN/m². The Skempton's parameter A is (Round off to two decimal places).
