Determine the shear strength in terms of effective stress on a plane within a saturated soil mass at a point where the total normal stress is 180 kN/m 2 and the pore water pressure is 60 kN/m 2 . The effective shear strength parameters of the soil are cohesion c' = 15 kN/m 2 and angle of shearing resistance φ' = 30°. Take √3 = 1.7 for calculation.
