(2.5 marks) In a construction project, we were interested in obtaining the strength of a given soil, so a shear test was conducted on the soil sample and the following data was obtained if each test was conducted until failure. Specimen number Normal Stress (kN/mº) Shear stress (kN/m²) 600 1500 2 900 1600 3 1200 1700 1 What will be the cohesion, angle of friction and show the shear strength equation, calculate the shear strength of the soil when a normal stress of 2000 kN/m² is applied to such a soil?
