About this document
Direct Shear Test for Consolidated Soils by ScribdTranslations is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document describes the procedure for conducting a consolidated drained direct shear test on soils. The test subjects a soil sample to a normal load and then shears it at a controlled rate while measuring the shear force and displacements. The objective is to determine the shear strength of the soil quickly under conditions that represent how it would behave in the field after consolidation. The results cannot be used to calculate properties such as the shear modulus.
