Shear Strength of Soils

Determination of shear strength in the direct shear test according to DIN 18137-3

Results and presentations:

  • Diagram of shear stress and shear displacement
  • Diagram of altitude change and shear displacement
  • Diagram of shear stress and compressive stress for
    – peak shear strength,
    – critical shear strength resp. total shear strength
    – residual shear strength
    with determination of shear parameters:
    – effective angle of internal friction
    – effective cohesion
    – angle of total shear strength
    – angle of residual shear strength

Number of test units: 4
