Ports that connect the sample at the top and bottom are useful not only during the performance of the test but also during sample preparation.
64 kN/m2.
. Shear strength of soil is given as: τ = C + σ ¯ tan ɸ.
Shear Strength and Deformation Behavior of Sand.
Drainage conditions can be controlled, and pore water.

The term containing factor N γ shows the. . 3.
It can be defined as the maximum value of shear stress that can be mobilized within a soil mass. 8 to 11.
It can measure the total, as well as the effective stress parameters, and can be conducted on any type of soil.
.
Measurement of Shear Strength. 1 Following data are given for a direct shear test conducted on dry sand: • Specimen dimensions: 63 mm 63 mm 25 mm (height) • Normal stress: 105 kN/m2 • Shear force at failure: 300 N a.
The rate of drainage depends on the permeabilityof the soil. 4.
