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.

Question

A cylindrical sample of soil, having cohesion of 0.8 kg/cm² and angle of internal friction of 20⁰, is subjected to a cell pressure (σ₃) of 1.0 kg/cm². Calculate the maximum deviator stress at which the sample will fail.
