Soil Mechanism 2. A direct shear test was conducted on a specimen of a dry sand. The shear strength of the soil was tested ata depth of 5.5m below the ground surface. G, of sand is 2.68 and has a porosity of 0.375. Failure occurred@ a shear stress of 119.7 Kpa, the size of the sample tested was 50.8mm x 50.8mm x 25.4mm.a. Compute the value of the angle of internal friction.b. Compute the angle of the failure plane.c. For a depth of 6m, compute the required force to cause the failure in the sample.
