A sample of saturated soil was consolidated under an all-around pressure of 60 lb/in2. The axial stress was then increased without permitting drainage. The sample failed when the axial deviator stress reached 50 lb/in2. The pore pressure at failure was 40 lb/in2. Determine a) the consolidated undrained angle of shearing resistance and b) the drained friction angle.
