Question: 4 b . Use the shear strength parameters which you obtained from Question 4 a . In addition, consider the following: A and B parameters

4b. Use the shear strength parameters which you obtained from Question 4a. In addition, consider the
following: A and B parameters of this saturated sand are 0.8 and 0.96 respectively. A triaxial sample
of this soil is consolidated under a cell pressure of 300kN//m^(2) and back pressure (pore water pressure)
of 100kN//m^(2). Once the consolidation was completed, the sample
was sheared under undrained
conditions by applying a vertical load.
What would be the principal stress difference and pore water pressure at failure?
