the following results were recorded during a shear box test on a cohesive soil. if the specimen size was 60mm x 60mm determine the apparent cohesion and angle of shearing resistance. 1. the size of a sand specimen in a direct shear test was 50 mm × 50 mm × 30 mm (height). it is known that, for the sand, tan φ′ = 0.65/e (where e = void ratio) and the specific gravity of soil solids gs = 2.65. during the test, a normal stress of 140 kn/m2 was applied. Normal force, kN = 0.073 Shear Force, kN = 0.109 Normal force, kN = 0.191 Shear Force, kN = 0.139 Normal force, kN = 0.309 Shear Force, kN = 0.170 Normal force, kN = 0.427 Shear Force, kN = 0.197 Normal force, kN = 0.545 Shear Force, kN = 0.227
