A direct shear test is performed on a soil sample with two different loads. In the first test, a normal stress of 55kPa is applied and the soil fails at a shear stress of 35kPa. In the second test, the soil failed at shear stress of 47kPa when a normal stress of 75 kPa was applied. Determine the values of internal friction angle and cohesion of the given soil sample.
(3) A direct shear test is used to find the shear strength of a soil. For two soil samples, the vertical stresses are 100 kPa and 300 kPa, and the corresponding shear stresses at failure are 57.7 kPa and 173.2 kPa, respectively. Please determine the strength parameters of this soil. 18 L m
