A saturated specimen of cohesionless sand was tested under drained conditions in a triaxial
compression test apparatus and the sample failed at a deviator stress of 482 kN/m2 and the
plane of failure made an angle of 60° with the horizontal. Determine the magnitudes of the
deviator stress for another identical specimen of sand if it is tested under a cell pressure of
200 kN/m2?
O 400 kPa
O 320 kPa
O 200 kPa
