(c) A UU test was carried out on a saturated clay sample. The sample was originally
75mm in diameter and 150mm high. A cell pressure of 100kPa was used.
During shearing a peak load of 500N was recorded at a strain of 10%.
Determine the magnitude of the undrained shear strength (cuu) and the orientation
of the failure plane.
