Question

A direct shear test was conducted on a specimen of dry sand and with a normal stress of 200 kN/m2. Failure occured at a shear stress of 179 kN/m2. The size of the specimen tested was 75mm x 75 mm x 30 mm height

A direct shear test was conducted on a specimen
of dry sand with a normal stress of 200 kN/m².
Failure occurred at a shear stress of 175 kN/m².
The size of the specimen tested was 75 mm × 75
mm x 30 mm (height). Determine the angle of
friction, p'. For a normal stress of 150 kN/m²,
what shear force would be required to cause
failure of the specimen?
