(a) A CU traxial shear test was conducted on a clayey soil. The initial cell pressure was 750 kPa and remained constant during the consolidation phase. At failure, the effective major effective principal stress was 1800 kPa, and the deviator stress was 1250 kPa. Determine Skempton's pore pressure parameters A and B. (b) A CU traxial shear test was conducted on a companion specimen of the same clayey soil. The initial cell pressure was 900 kPa and remained constant during the consolidation phase. At failure, the effective major effective principal stress was 2200 kPa. 01/63' ratio remains the same in parts (a) and (b). Determine Skempton's pore pressure parameters A and B.
