Direct Shear Test - Cohesion value and Angle of friction
AS PER IS 2720 PART 13
Objective - To determine the shear strength of soil materials.
Shear strength is defined as the maximum resistance that a material can withstand when subjected to shearing. Direct Shear Test is considered one of the most common and simple tests to derive the strength of a soil and can be performed on undisturbed or remoulded samples.
Civiltech perform Direct Shear test by all the following 03 methods.
Unconsolidated Undrained Test
