Question: A consolidated drained test was conducted on a soil sample. At the failure, the major and minor principal stresses were 1 f = 1 3

A consolidated drained test was conducted on a soil sample. At the failure, the major
and minor principal stresses were 1f=139kPa and 3f=43kPa. The frictional
angle of the soil was found to be 32 degrees and the cohesion is 5kPa. What was
the shear stress on the failure plane of the sample at failure moment? Unit: kPa
