Assume that both a triaxial shear test and a direct shear test are to be performed on a sample of dry sand. When the triaxial shear test is performed, the specimen fails when the major and minor principal stresses are 80 and 20 lbs/in^2, respectively. When the direct shear test is performed, what shear strength can be expected if the normal stress is 4000 lbs/ft^2? Show all work.

c. An undisturbed soil sample, 110 mm in diameter and 220 mm in height, was tested in a triaxial machine. The sample sheared under an additional axial load of 3.35 kN with a vertical deformation of 21 mm. The failure plane was inclined at 50° to the horizontal and the cell pressure was 300 kN/m². i. Draw the Mohr circle diagram representing the above stress conditions, and from it determine: - Coulomb's equation for the shear strength of the soil, in terms of total stress; - the magnitude and obliquity of the resultant stress on the failure plane. ii. A further undisturbed sample of the soil was tested in a shear box under the same drainage conditions as used for the previous test. If the area of the box was 3600 mm² and the normal load was 500 N, what would you expect the failure stress to have been?
