A silty sand is tested consolidated-drained in a triaxial cell where both principal stresses at the start
Question:
A silty sand is tested consolidated-drained in a triaxial cell where both principal stresses at the start of the test were 625 kPa. If the total axial stress at failure is 2.04 MPa while the horizontal pressure remains constant, compute the angle of shearing resistance and the theoretical orientation of the failure plane with respect to the horizontal.
