A triaxial test performed on a clay sample, under unconsolidated–undrained conditions, reaches a maximum (failure) axial stress (major principal stress) of 106 kPa when the confining stress (minor principal stress) is 40 kPa. What is the value of cohesion, cu
(undrained shear strength) for this sample? If another sample of the same soil is tested in an unconfined compression test, what axial load is expected to cause failure?
