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

Soil field density experiment was done by sand cone if you knew that
the information below was done in the laboratory. Empty mold weight
= kg 3.872
Weight of mold with sand 5.225. kg
Weight of sand = weight of the mold when it is empty - weight of the
mold with sand
3.872 - 5.225 = kg 1.353
%3D
Mold size = cm'863.93
Device weight = 7.450 kg
Weight of the device after unloading part of the sand = kg 5.485
pit height = cm 13
Weight of the device after digging the hole = kg 1.008
Weight of soil extracted from the pit = 3.2285
Metal container weights
