Question: A saturated clay sample with sample dimensions of D = ( 3 cm and H = ( 6 . 0 ) cm with three undrained

A saturated clay sample with sample dimensions of D=(3 cm and H=(6.0) cm with three undrained
axial tests were performed. 100 kPa cell pressure test resulted in (7) mm axial
deformation and collapsed under a load of (130 N. The second experiment was conducted under 200 kPa
and collapsed with a deformation of (9) mm under a load of (190 N. Shear strength of the soil
parameters using two different collapse criteria. In case the specimen is made below 150 kPa
Find the deviatoric stress at which it will collapse.
