What was the pore water pressure at failure


Problem: A triaxial test was performed on saturated sand. The sample was first consolidated under a confining pressure of 30 kN/m-. Then, the test conditions were changed to undrained loading, and a deviator stress was gradually increased to 40 kN/m-when the sample failed. If the effective friction angle was 350, what was the pore water pressure (in kN/m-) at failure?
