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

effective stress was increased from 100 kN/m2 to

increased from 200 kN / (m2) to 400 kN/m² then
settlement of the clay is?
(a) 1 cm
(c) 4 cm
(b) 2 cm
(d) 8 cm
