The effective shear strength parameters of a normally consolidated clay are p= 25° and c= 0. A consolidated undrained 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. Determine: ● ● The angle of friction, cu The effective major and minor principle stresses The pore water pressure at failure The CD shear strength parameters
