Concept explainers

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.

Select all true statements. In triaxial loading: U The confining pressure (o3) is progressively increased to break the sample subjected to uniform principal stresses (ol = o2). When initially loaded, the rock specimen compresses and then begins to dilate as a result of internal fracturing. When the water pressure increases, there is a transition from ductile to brittle behavior. When the confining pressure decreases, the behavior changes from strain- softening to strain-hardening.
