Concept explainers

Test for Determination of Shear Strength

The term shear strength is often associated with the soil. Shear strength is defined as the resistance to the deformation of soil particles due to the continuous action of shear stress. In short, shear strength is the maximum shear stress that a soil can sustain.

Samples from sandstone were collected from two different depths (80m and 200m) and triaxial shearing tests were performed to estimate the shear strength parameters. From each depth, two different specimens were tests at distinct isotropic confining pressures and from the experiments the deviatoric stress at failure was assessed.
