Dear Cyrus,
An even more pertinent PhD thesis is that of Da-Mang Lee at Cambridge:
Lee D-M 1992 The angles of friction of granular fills
Lee conducted many triaxial tests on different gradings of sand and gravel.
But these were old-style tests without much in the way of frictionless ends
or local strain measurement. Nevertheless, the strength data were
interesting, and compared with pilot scale tests on granular fill carried
out at TRRL.
Contact me directly if you find difficulty borrowing a copy.
Regards,

Dear Cyrus Jedari,
Although it is going back a bit, you might want to get hold of Stroud's 1971
PhD thesis from the University of Cambridge - "Sand at low stress levels in
the simple shear apparatus". I don't know whether Stroud's data has been
archived, but I suggest you contact either Malcolm Bolton at Cambridge and
David Muir Wood at Dundee.
Regards,
John
