QUESTION 5 (30 marks) A consolidated drained triaxial test was conducted on a normally consolidated clay. Following are the results of the test: . Cell or Chamber pressure = 50+X kN/m² Deviator stress at failure = 150+X kN/m² a) Determine the consolidated drained friction angle (10 marks) b) What is the pore water pressure developed in the clay specimen at failure? (3 marks) c) What is the angle o that the failure plane makes with minor principal stress? (7 marks) d) Determine the normal stress and shear stress on the failure plane (10 marks)
