The shear strength parameters in terms of effective stress are: C = 15 kPa and O' = 30°. In an unconsolidated undrained (UU) triaxial test on a sample of this clay, the cell pressure was 250 kPa and the deviator stress at failure was 136 kPa. The pore water pressure at failure will be (in kN/m2, upto one decimal place).

A consolidated undrained triaxial test was performed on a normally consolidated clay with a critical state friction angle of 230. After an initial isotropic consolidation at a cell pressure of 50 kPa, drainage was turned off, the cell pressure was increased to 85 kPa, and the sample was loaded to ultimate conditions. A pore pressure of 55 kPa was measured at ultimate state. What value of major principal total stress was measured at the ultimate state?
Samples from sandstone were collected from two different depths (80m and 200m) and triaxial shearing tests were performed to estimate the shear strength parameters. From each depth, two different specimens were tests at distinct isotropic confining pressures and from the experiments the deviatoric stress at failure was assessed. The results from these experiments are summarized in Table 1.1.
