Two similar clay soil samples were pre-consolidated in triaxial equipment with a chamber pressure of 600 kN/ m². Consolidated-drained triaxial tests were conducted on these two specimens. The following are the results of the tests Specimen 1: kN 0₁ = 100- 2 m kN m² (80), = 410.6- Specimen 2: kN 0₁ = 50. m² (AG), = 384.37- kN 2 m Find the values of the cohesion c and the angle of internal friction 9.
