(b) In an unconfined compression test on a saturated clay, the maximum proving ring dial reading recorded was 240×10−3 mm, when the axial shortening of the specimen having an initial height of 70 mm and an initial diameter of 36 mm, was 12 mm. If the calibration factor of the proving ring was 3.2 N/10−3 mm, examine the shear strength parameters of the clay.
