1. A clay box specimen with dimensions 4"x 4" x 1" was subjected to Direct Shear Test. The results were as follows: Normal Force (lb) 480 1040 1456 a. Determine the strength b. If the same specimen is subjected to a drained triaxial test under a chamber pressure of 40 psi, what will be the axial deviator stress at failure? Shear Force at failure (lb) 421.28 614.08 757.28 parameters c and Ø. shear shear c. Solve for the normal and shear stress at failure (for letter b).
