A series of three direct shear tests were conducted on saturated sandy soil sample at 3 normal stresses of 50, 100, and 200 kPa. The test results are shown below. (a) Using the data, determine the effective cohesion and angle of internal friction based on shear stress v. normal stress plot. (b) What type of behavior is demonstrated by the soil (NC/OC)? (c) Based on the answer, classify whether the sand is dense or loose.
