A consolidated-undrained tri-axial test was conducted on a normally conslidated clay sample and the results are follows: Chamber confining pressure= 119kpa Deviator Stress at failure=90 kpa Pore water pressure= 58kpa These results were used to determine the drained friction angle of the soil. Compute the deviator stress (kpa) at failure when the drained test was conducted with the chamber confining pressure changed to 156 kpa. Use stored value. Answer to 5 decimal places.

During an oedometer test on a specimen of saturated clay, the thickness of the specimen decreased from 19.931 mm to 19.720 mm under an increment of stress from 200 to 400 kPa which was maintained for 24 hours. The stress was then removed from the specimen, its thickness was measured as 19.842 mm, and its water content determined as 26.8%. Taking Gs of the particles to be 2.70, calculate the void ratio before and after the application of the stress increment, and the coefficient of volume decrease (m,) for this stress range. (Ans: e,= 0.731, ez= 0.713, m, = 0.052 m²/MN)
