Question : 52

Total: 65

The total horizontal and vertical stresses at a point X in a saturated sandy medium are 170 kPa and 300kPa, respectively. The static pore-water pressure is 30kPa. At failure, the excess porewater pressure is measured to be 94.50kPa, and the shear stresses on the vertical and horizontal planes passing through the point X are zero. Effective cohesion is 0 kPa and effective angle of internal friction is 36∘. The shear strength (in kPa, up to two decimal places) at point X is
