2) Consolidated drained (CD) triaxial tests were conducted on three undistributed

specimens of the same overconsolidated clay. Results of the tests are shown in the

following table. Estimate (graphically) the effective shear strength parameters c' and Ø'

of the tested clay (ignore the effect of changing sheared areas during test).
