Determine the friction angle and shear strength

Reference no: EM13297389

A cohesionless sand is tested in a direct shear apparatus with a square shear box 6.0cm in size. Normal load at failure was 93.8N with a maximum shear load of 38.7N. Find stresses on the failure plane, sketch a graph showing these on the shear stress and normal stress axes. Find the friction angle and shear strength.
