5. A consolidated, undrained triaxial test is being carried out on a normally consolidated clay where c - 0 and p'= 26'. The triaxial specimen was consolidated under a cell pressure of 300 kPa and backpressure of 80 kPa. Skempton's A parameter at failure is estimated to be 0.80. The drainage valve has since been dosed and the vertical deviator stress increased to failure. What would be the deviator stress and pore water pressure at failure?
