At a point in a saturated soil mass, the total stress and pore water pressure are obtained as 200 kN/m2 and 100 kN/m2 respectively. The shear strength of the soil is 80 kN/m2 and the effective friction angle is 30°. Determine the effective cohesion of the soil (Take tan 30° = 0.577).
- 147.7 kN/m2
- 250.0 kN/m2
- 333.3 kN/m2
- 422.3 kN/m2✓
Correct answer
22.3 kN/m2
