What is the shear strength in terms of effective stress

Reference no: EM13555108

What is the shear strength in terms of effective stress on a place within a saturated soil mass at a point where the total normal stress is 295 kN/m2^2 and the pore water pressure 120 kN/m^2? The effective stress parameters of the soil for the appropriate stress range are c'=12kN/m^2 and phi'=30 degrees
