a) For a direct shear test on a dry sand, the following are given; Specimen size: 75 mm x 75 mm x 30 mm (height) - Normal stress at failure: 200 kPa Shear stress at failure: 175 kPa For a normal stress of 150 kPa, what shear force is required to cause failure in this specimen? b) For a normally consolidated clay, given 0 = 20° and Ø' = 28°. If a CU triaxial test is conducted with the same soil with the all-around confining pressure of 140 kPa. What would be the pore water pressure at failure?
