Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the term for the ratio of the shear strength of soil to its normal stress?
  • Step 1: Understand what shear strength means. Shear strength is the ability of soil to resist sliding or shearing forces.
  • Step 2: Know what normal stress is. Normal stress is the pressure applied perpendicular to the surface of the soil.
  • Step 3: Learn about the ratio. The ratio compares the shear strength of the soil to the normal stress acting on it.
  • Step 4: Identify the term for this ratio. This ratio is called the friction angle in soil mechanics.
