What would be the magnitude of the mahor principal stress

Reference no: EM13555183

A normally consolidated clay soil has angle of friction = 20 degrees and effective stress angle of friction = 28 degrees. If a consolidated undrained test is conducted on this clay with an all around pressure of 21.5 lb/in^2, what would be the magnitude of the mahor principal stress and the pore pressure at failure?
