Two identical specimens of soil saturated normally consolidated clay were consolidated to 150 kPa in a ti ¡axial apparatus. One specimen was sheared drained, and the principal stress difference at failure was 300 kPa. The other specimen was sheared undrained, and the principal stress difference at failure was 200 kPa. Determine

(a) ɸ' and ɸtotal (b) µf in the undrained specimen; (c) Af in the undrained specimen: and (d) the theoretical angle of failure planes for both specimens.
