A consolidated-undrained tri-axial test was conducted on a normally consolidated clay sample and the results are as follows: Chamber confining pressure = 115 kPa, Deviator stress at failure = 81 kPa, Pore Water Pressure = 62 kPa. These results were used to determine the drained friction angle of the soil. Compute the deviator stress (kPa) at failure when the drained test was conducted with the chamber confining pressure changed to 159 kPa. Round off to two decimal places.
