Calculate the pore water pressure developed in the specimen

Reference no: EM13716700

A NC clay has an effective friction angle of 28^o and zero effective cohesion. A CU test conducted on the clay gave the following results:

Confining stress = 105 kPa.
Deviator stress at failure = 97 kPa

a) Calculate the pore water pressure developed in the specimen at failure.

b) What would the deviator stress at failure have been if a CD test had been conducted with the same confining pressure (i.e., 105 kPa)?
