A triaxial test performed on a clay sample, under unconsolidated–undrained conditions, reaches a maximum (failure) axial stress (major principal stress) of 106 kPa when the confining stress (minor principal stress) is 40 kPa.

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.
