Question: A dry sand sample was tested in direct shear and yielded a shear strength of 1 3 0 kPa under a normal stress of 2
A dry sand sample was tested in direct shear and yielded a shear strength of kPa under a normal stress of kPa. Lab results indicate the soil's wet unit weight is kNm and the saturated unit weight is kNm Determine the shear strength, in kPa, within the native sand deposit at a depth of m below the water table. The water table is m below ground surface. Provide your answer with decimal places, do not include the units and assume a unit weight for water of kNm
