b) The results of two drained triaxial tests on a saturated clay are given here: Specimen I: Chamber confining pressure = 190 kN/m2 Deviator stress at failure = 210 kN/m² Specimen II: Chamber confining pressure = 360 kN/m? Deviator stress at failure = 400 kN/m2 Calculate the shear strength parameters of the soil.
