Electronic This assignment requires plotting. Your plots should be to scale and neat. plotting is fine. Make sure all of your plots have "square" scales to appropriately represent shear strength and Mohr circles. A set of three direct shear tests was performed on a compacted sand. The effective normal stress and the shear stress at failure from the three tests are provided in the following table. Effective Normal 500 1000 2000 Shear Stress at Failure (psf) 385 750 1510 Specimen...
