• If sample of this soil was tested in a $C U$ Test under a cell pressure of $180 \mathrm{kN} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$.

• Determine

(a) deviator stress at failure (b) pore water pressure at failure (c) minor principal effective stress at failure (d) major principal effective stress at failure (e) the magnitude of $A_{f}$

(a) Since: $$ c_{u}=0 $$ Using, or, (b) $\therefore$ Using, $$ \begin{aligned} \sigma_{1} &=\sigma_{3}+\sigma_{d}=180+148.75=328.75 \mathrm{kN} / \mathrm{m}^{2} \\ \bar{\sigma}_{1} &=\bar{\sigma}_{3} \tan ^{2}\left(45+\frac{\phi_{u}^{\prime}}{2}\right)+2 c^{\prime} \tan \left(45+\frac{\phi_{u}^{\prime}}{2}\right) \\ \bar{\sigma}_{1} &=\bar{\sigma}_{3} \tan ^{2}\left(45+\frac{\phi_{u}^{\prime}}{2}\right)+0 \\ \left(\sigma_{1}^{\prime}-u\right) &=\left(\sigma_{3}-u\right) \tan ^{2}\left(45+\frac{\phi_{c u}^{\prime}}{2}\right) \\ (328.75-u) &=(180-u) \times 3.537 \\ 2.537 u &=307.93 \\ u &=121.37 \mathrm{kN} / …
