In a certain Direct Shear Test Experiment the sample fails at shear stress of 8 kPa when the normal stress
applied is 12 kPa and the sample fails also at shear stress 10 kPa when the normal stress is 18 kPa.
Predict the value of Shear stress at failure when the applied normal stress is 30 kPa.

Ans. 14 kPa

In a certain Direct Shear Test Experiment the sample fails at shear stress of 8 kPa when the normal stress
applied is 12 kPa, if the cohesion of soil is 5.25 kPa, determine the shear stress at failure when there is
no applied normal stress on the soil Sample.

Ans. 5.25 kPa
