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

Triaxial compression test (CU) is conducted on a normally consolidated clay at a
confining pressure of 100 kPa. The deviator stress at failure is 80 kPa, and the
pore-water pressure measured at failure is 50 kPa. Determine the angle of internal
friction.
