Determine the angle of internal friction for the soil

Reference no: EM13317741

A cohesionless soil sample was subjected to a triaxial test. The sample failed when the minor principal stress (confining pressure) was 1200 lb/ft^2 and the deviator stress was 3000 lb/ft^2. Find the angle of internal friction for this soil.
