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

In a triaxial shear test conducted on a soil sample having a cohesion of 12 kN/m² and angle of shearing resistance of 36°, the cell pressure was 200 kN/m². Determine the value of the deviator stress at failure (in kN/m²)
