A sample of soil failed in a triaxial test under a deviator stress of 200 kN/m2 when the confining pressure was 100 kN/m2. For the same sample, if the confining pressure had been 200 kN/m2, what would have been the deviator stress at failure? Assume c = 0.
- 1500 kN/m2
- 2100 kN/m2
- 3400 kN/m2✓
- 4600 kN/m2
Correct answer
400 kN/m2
