A fully saturated cylindrical triaxial sample of clay soil has approximate initial dimensions of 38mm in diameter by 76mm long. A quick undrained triaxial test is conducted on the specimen where the cell pressure is 140 kN/m2. In this the deviator stress at failure is 76 kN/m2. After the triaxial test, a water content test is conducted on the entire sample. The combined weight of the wet sample and sample container was 181.7 g. The combined weight of the oven dried sample and sample container was 147.8 g. The sample container weighs 9.2 g. The soil solids specific gravity is 2.7. What is the undrained strength of the soil? Also, what are the water content of the soil, its total (or bulk) unit weight, and its voids ratio?
