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.

Assume that both a triaxial shear test and a direct shear test are to be performed on a sample of dry sand. When the triaxial shear test is performed, the specimen fails when the major and minor principal stresses are 80 and 20 lbs/in^2, respectively. When the direct shear test is performed, what shear strength can be expected if the normal stress is 4000 lbs/ft^2? Show all work.
