Transcribed Image Text:A saturated clay has effective shear strength parameters as c'=20 kPa and q' = 25°. This soil sample
was tested in an unconsolidated undrained triaxial test with pore pressure measurements under a cell
pressure of 200 kPa and the principal stress difference at failure was 110 kPa. The pore water pressure
at failure was measured but was lost due to mishandling of data. Then the pore water pressure at
failure is
