The following parameters are given for a silty clay soil: c=18 kPa, \phi =20\deg , A =0.4 B =0.8. Find the pore pressures at the beginning and at the end of following stages.
a) Isotropic consolidation at a cell pressure of 200 kPa,
b) Undrained monotonic axial shear to failure following the consolidation phase with cell pressure raised to 400 kPa under undrained conditions.
