Q6): The effective shear strength equation of a saturated clayey soil can be as S=25+ o tan 30. In undrained test on a sample of the same soil using the Shear box apparatus the following data at failure were recorded: shear Stress=90 kPa and normal stress = 180 kPa. a): what was the pore water pressure in the specimen at the time of failure? b): Find the undrained compressive strength for the same soil when tested in unconfined compression test. c): Find the major principal stress when tested in UU test with confining pressure of 200 kPa.
