The effective internal friction angle of a normal compacted clay is 33°, the triaxial test of this clay specimen is carried out, and the applied confining pressure is 115 kN/m2. (1) If the compaction undrained test is carried out, the axial differential stress at failure is 102 kN/m2, and the water pressure in the clay test body at failure is determined. (2) If the compaction drainage test is carried out, the applied confining pressure is still 115 kN/m2, and the axial difference stress at the time of failure is determined.
