Separate triaxial compression tests are performed on identical soil samples. The soil is saturated mixed soil. At failure, the respective minor and major principal stresses values are 10 kPa and 30 kPa for sample one, and 40 kPa and 70 KPa for sample two. From these data, determine the value for ∅ and the cohesion intercept C on the Mohr’s circle shear strength coordinate. Show all hand calculations and diagrams.
