Samples of a dry sand are to be tasted in a direct shear


Samples of a dry sand are to be tasted in a direct shear test and a triaxial test. In the triaxial test, the sample fails when the major and minor principal stresses are 140 psi and 40 psi, respectively. What shear resistance is to be expected in the direct shear test when the normal load stress equals 5,000 psf?
