2. A soil specimen is subjected to a tri-axial test. The soil specimen is cohesionless. If the shear stress that causes failure is 280 kPa and the normal stress at failure is only 480 kPa. a) Determine the angle of shearing resistance, b) Determine the angle that the failure plane measured from the major principal plane. c) Determine the total axial stress at which failure is expected to occur.
