About this document
Triaxial Shear Test Overview and Analysis by Tushar Gautam is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the triaxial shear test used to determine the shear strength of soils. It explains that soils fail in shear when the shear stress along the failure surface, known as the mobilized shear resistance, reaches the shear strength of the soil. The Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion is described, which states that the shear strength of a soil consists of cohesive and frictional components that are functions of both total and effective stresses. Mohr circles are used to graphically represent the
