The specimens obtained from a clay layer at a site gave the fol- lowing shear strength parameters from la consolidated-drained triaxial test: c' = 10 kN/m² and ø' = 26°. A consolidated- undrained triaxial test is carried out on this soil, where a speci- men is consolidated under confining pressure of 100 kN/m? and loaded under undrained conditions. The specimen failed under an additional axial stress of 107.0 kN/m². What is the pore water pressure within the specimen?
