Question:
The specimens obtained from a clay layer at a site gave the following shear strength parameters from a consolidated-drained triaxial test: c' = 10 kN/m2 and ϕ' = 26°. A consolidated undrained triaxial test is carried out on this soil, where a specimen is consolidated under confining pressure of 100 kN/m2 and loaded under undrained conditions. The specimen failed under an additional axial stress of 107.0 kN/m2. What is the pore water pressure within the specimen?

I have extensive seven years of tutoring experience in a variety of Civil Engineering courses. I have worked with the Civil Engineering Department at Assiut University, Egypt as a teaching assistant from February 2012 to June 2016. Throughout my time in the Civil Engineering Department, I have taught several civil engineering subjects including soil mechanics, structural mechanics, fluid mechanics, and surveying. Also, I was responsible for conducting labs in the area of soil mechanics, structural mechanics, and hydraulics.
As of Fall 2019, I joined the Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences at the University of Wollongong in Dubai as an instructor[full-time position]. My role with the UOWD involved the following:
- Provide daily instruction to undergraduate students in the classroom and in individual conferences as needed.
- Conducting labs in the area of soil mechanics, structural mechanics, geo-technics, hydraulics, and surveying.
- Helping undergraduate students with their final projects and writing their theses.
