Question: 1 0 . 1 1 A consolidated drained triaxial test was carried out on a normally consolidated clay specimen with confining pressure of 7 5

10.11 A consolidated drained triaxial test was carried out on a normally consolidated clay specimen with confining pressure of 75.0kNm2. The deviator stress at failure was 96.0kNm2. An identical specimen of the same clay was subjected to a consolidated undrained triaxial test, where the confining pressure is 150.0kNm2. The deviator stress at failure was 115.0kNm2. What would be the pore water pressure at failure?
