A Cone Penetrometer Test (CPT) produces a continuous record of tip and sleeve resistance as well as pore pressure induced behind the cone tip. At a certain depth, the following are recorded: Cone Tip Resistance = 17 tsf, Friction Ration (R) = 2.6% The soil is most likely a Oa Clayey Sit Clay Sand Oa Se

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.
