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…
Question

For the first series of tests, no drainage of pore water occurs, either when the normal load is applied or during shearing (relating to clay’s very low coefficient of permeability). How does the “no drainage” control can be visualized?
