A consolidated-drained triaxial test was conducted on a normally consolidated clay. The results were as follows: oz = 250 kN/m? (Aoa); = 275 kN/m? Determine: a. Angle of friction, o' b. Angle 0 that the failure plane makes with the major principal plane c. Normal stress, o', and shear stress, 7, on the failure plane
