Test for Determination of Shear Strength

The term shear strength is often associated with the soil. Shear strength is defined as the resistance to the deformation of soil particles due to the continuous action of shear stress. In short, shear strength is the maximum shear stress that a soil can sustain.

Question

a sample of moist sand was subjected to a series of triaxial tests. the soil fails under the following stresses:

sample 1: Cell pressure = 14 kPa Plunger stress = 34 kPa

Sample 2: Cell pressure = 25 kPa Plunger stress = 56 kPa

what is the cohesion angle of internal friction of the soil in degrees?
