From the given data determine these soil properties and analyse the results, how important are these test data and how can they be integrated within geotechnical design procedures. - If a soil sample tested in a direct shear box of 60 mm by 60 mm and the maximum readings for normal loads of 0.3, 0.5 and 1.0kN were 202, 265 and 511 kN, determine the strength parameters corresponding to effective stress.

Normal Load (KN) Normal Stress (KPa)
0.3 KN
0.5 KN
1.0 KN
0.3 x 10^6/3600 - 83 Kpa
0.5 x 10^6/3600 = 138 Kpa
1.0 x 10^6/3600 = 277 KPa
202 N
Shear force (N) Shear stress (KPa)
0.202x10^6/3600 = 56 Kpa
0.265x10^6/3600 = 73 Kpa
0.511x10^6/3600 = 142 KPa
265 N
511 N
