A specimen of sand at the field density is known to have a (σ13)max of 3.8. If such a specimen is hydrostatically consolidated to 1180 kPa in a triaxial test apparatus, at what effective confining pressure σ3f will the specimen fail if the vertical stress is held constant? (This is a lateral extension test.)
