Question
please answer all parts

**Figure 1.** Shear strength versus normal stress from a direct shear test.
- **X-axis (Horizontal):** Normal Stress, \(\sigma\) (psf)
- **Y-axis (Vertical):** Shear Strength, \(S\) (psf)
- The graph shows a linear relationship with data points marked and a trend line fitted through them.
2. Calculate the shear strength for an effective normal stress of 4500 psf.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/2867fa33-d354-46d8-b33d-713eb0a8e48f/6a965b2a-41ac-41aa-b767-09c4cce9efbc/5r50g8_thumbnail.jpeg)
Transcribed Image Text:1. For the shear strength versus normal stress graph in Figure 1 and the shear strength relationship, i.e., \( S = c + \sigma \tan \phi \); identify the shear strength parameters in the equation and find their values from Figure 1.
