Direct shear test was conducted on soil specimen. It was observed that the specimen failed when V = 137KPa and P = 268KPa. In other soil sample, it failed at V = 210KPa and P = 412KPa. Determine the cohesion of the soil? Determine the internal angle of friction? What is the axial compressive stress when V = 243KPa
