    The document provides the results of an undrained triaxial test on compacted soil. It gives lateral pressures, total vertical pressures, and pore pressures at failure. It asks to determine the angle of shearing resistance and apparent cohesion referred to total stress, and the angle of shearing resistance referred to effective stress. It also provides the results of an unconsolidated undrained test on saturated clay, giving the cell pressure and deviator stress at failure. It asks to compute the maximum principal stress and undrained shear strength of the soil.
