A standard specimen of cohesionless sand was tested in triaxial compression test and the sample field at a deviator stress of 450 KN/ sq-m, when the cell pressure was 100 kN/sq-m under drained condition. Find the effective angle of shearing resistance of sand. what would be the deviator stress and the Major principle stress at the failure of another identical specimen of sand if it is tested under a cell pressure of 200 KN/ sq-m ?

Question
A standard specimen of cohesionless sand
was tested in triaxial compression test and
the sample field at a deviator stress of
450 KN/ sq-m, when the cell pressure was
100 kN/sq-m under drained condition.
Find the effective angle of shearing
resistance of sand. what would be the
deviator stress and the Major principle
stress at the failure of another identical
specimen of sand if it is tested under a cell
pressure of 200 KN/ sq-m ?
