Q3) A consolidated un drained triaxial test was performed on a specimen of saturated clay
with a cell pressure o3 = 20kN/m?: at failure , o1. 03 = 28 KN/m² , u =18KN/m² and the
failure angle of 0 =50°, find the following :- 1) the shear stresses(, &t ) acting on the
failure plane and draw free body diagram for stresses acting on the specimen . 2) the
maximum shear stress acting on the specimen.
