Civil Engineering > GATE 2016 SET-1 > Triaxial Test
A drained triaxial compression test on a saturated clay yielded the effective shear strength parameters as c'=15 kPa and ϕ'=22°. Consolidated Undrained triaxial test on an identical sample of this clay at a cell pressure of 200 kPa developed a pore water pressure of 150 kPa at failure. The deviator stress (expressed in kPa) at failure is _______.
