5. A consolidated, undrained triaxial test is being caried out on a normally consolidated clay where c = 0 and 41= 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?

c. An undisturbed soil sample, 110 mm in diameter and 220 mm in height, was tested in a triaxial machine. The sample sheared under an additional axial load of 3.35 kN with a vertical deformation of 21 mm. The failure plane was inclined at 50° to the horizontal and the cell pressure was 300 kN/m². i. Draw the Mohr circle diagram representing the above stress conditions, and from it determine: - Coulomb's equation for the shear strength of the soil, in terms of total stress; - the magnitude and obliquity of the resultant stress on the failure plane. ii. A further undisturbed sample of the soil was tested in a shear box under the same drainage conditions as used for the previous test. If the area of the box was 3600 mm² and the normal load was 500 N, what would you expect the failure stress to have been?
