The effective shear strength parameters of a normally consolidated clay are Ø' = 25 and c' = 0. CU test was conducted on a similar sample with confining pressure (03) of 112 kPa while the deviator stress at failure was found to be 100 kPa. 1. Determine the angle of internal friction, Øcu. 2. Determine the pore water pressure developed at failure.
