Question: 1 2 . 1 2 Consider the clay sample in Problem 1 2 . 1 1 . A consolidated - undrained triaxial test was conducted

12.12 Consider the clay sample in Problem 12.11. A consolidated-undrained triaxial
test was conducted on the same clay with a chamber pressure of 10l(b)/(i)n^(2).
The pore pressure at failure was (\Delta u_(d))_(f)=4.2l(b)/(i)n.^(2). What would be the major
effective principal stress, \sigma _(1)^('), at failure?
