3. (35) A consolidated-drained triaxial test was conducted on an overconsolidated clay sample. The sample failed in test 1 at 01=200 kPa and 63=130 kPa, and in test 2 at 01=400 kPa and 03=290 kPa. Determine the undrained and drained friction angles and cohesion for the assumption that the Skempton's pore water pressure parameter A=0.45. Also, for a CU test on the same soil, determine 01, 01', 03', and excess pore water pressure u for 03=340 kPa.
