In a tri – axial test, a sample of saturated sand was consolidated under an all around pressure of 80 kPa. During the addition of vertical load, drainage was prevented and the pore water pressure was measured to be 30 kPa. The added vertical pressure at that time was 120 kPa. Compute the drained angle of friction.  a. 43.06 degrees b. 53.16 degrees c. 33.06 degrees d. 23.26 degrees

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.
