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 lb>in.2 , respectively. When the direct shear test is performed, what shear strength can be expected if the normal stress is 4000 lb>ft2
