What is Triaxial vs. Direct Shear Tests about?

Here are the key points about Mohr-Coulomb theory: - It describes the shear strength of soils and rock. - It states that shear failure occurs when the shear stress on a plane reaches a critical value, which depends on the normal stress on that plane. - The relationship between shear and normal stresses is defined by the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion: τf = c + σn tanφ Where: τf = shear stress at failure c = cohesion intercept σn = normal stress on the failure plane φ = angle of internal friction
