A direct shear test was performed on a 7.5 x 7.5 cm sample of dry sand. It was found that the normal and s es at failure were 560N and 280N respectively. Plot the Mohr strength envelope and determine the angl -rnal friction. Also calculate the magnitude and direction of the principle stresses at failure.
