What is Shear Strength of Soil Analysis about?

This document discusses the shear strength of soils. It defines shear strength as the internal resistance of soil to shear failure, and the maximum shear stress the soil can withstand. The shear strength of saturated soils is described by the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion, and is a function of cohesion, friction angle, and effective normal stress. Common laboratory tests to determine the shear strength parameters (c, φ) of soils are direct shear tests and triaxial tests.
