Question 5. A CU test was conducted on a saturated clay soil by isotopically consolidating the soil using a cell pressure of 150 kPa and then incrementally applying loads on the plunger while keeping the cell pressure constant. Failure was observed when the stress exerted by the plunger was 160 kPa and the porewater pressure recorded was 54 kPa.
