Question: Problem 4 ) ( 3 points ) A consolidated drained triaxial test was performed on a normally consolidated clay, where the cell pressure was 1

Problem 4)(3 points) A consolidated drained triaxial test was performed on a normally consolidated clay, where the cell pressure was 1000 psf , and the deviatory stress at failure was 600 psf . a) Find the drained internal friction angle and the failure plane angle to the horizontal for this clay (1 point), b) Find the effective normal stress and effective shear stress on the failure plane (1 point), c) Find the effective normal stress and effective shear stress on the plane of max. shear stress along with that plane's inclination angle to the horizontal (1 point). Use the conceptual thinking with the help of a not-to-scale Mohr's circle drawing only (like we did in the lecture 21). The use of any equation or scaling any value off the Mohr's circle will get no credit for this problem.
