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.

equation (tau)f=(sigma prime)tan(21). The results of a consolidated-undrained test on the
clay are
Chamber confining pressure 5 225 kN/m2
Deviator stress at failure 5 112 kN/m2
Determine:
a. The consolidated-undrained (total stress) friction angle
b. Pore water pressure developed in the specimen at failure

12.19 The shear strength of a normally consolidated clay can be given by the
equation 7, = o' tan 21°. The results of a consolidated-undrained test on the
clay are
Chamber confining pressure 225 kN/m?
Deviator stress at failure 112 kN/m²
Determine:
a. The consolidated-undrained (total stress) friction angle
b. Pore water pressure developed in the specimen at failure
