The size of a sand specimen in a direct shear test was 50 mm x 50 mm x 30 mm (height). It is known that, for the sand, tan phi prime = 0.65/e (where e = void ratio) and the specific gravity of soil solids Gs = 2.65. During the test, a normal stress of 140 kN/m^2 was applied. Failure occured at a shear stress of 105 kN/m^2. What was the mass of the sand specimen?
The following data are given for a direct shear test conducted on dry sand:- Specimen dimensions: 75 mm X 75 mm X 30 mm (height)- Normal stress: 200 kN/m2- Shear stress at failure: 175 kN/m2a) Determine the angle of friction,b) For a normal stress of 150 kN/m2, what shear force is required to cause failure?
