A consolidated drained triaxial test was conducted on a normally
consolidated clay.
Following are the results of the test:
• Cell or Chamber pressure = 50 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 θ 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)
