Direct Shear Test (Apparatus, Procedure, Calculation)
February 11, 2023
Shear strength is the ability of soil to withstand forces that may cause it to fail during sliding or shearing is known as shear strength. It is a measure of the soil’s resistance to these pressures. The balance between the applied shear force and the resistance offered by cohesion and friction determines the shear strength of the soil. The soil will fail and experience sliding or shearing…
