What is Shear Box Test for Dam Stability Analysis about?

This document summarizes the results of a shear box test conducted to assess the slope stability of the Merriespruit Tailings Dam, which failed in 1994. Soil samples were tested under different density and saturation conditions and normal stresses. The friction angle was determined to be 29-45 degrees based on the results. The critical friction angle was 29 degrees for loose saturated soil. A factor of safety analysis using Bishop
