Q
Q: Which of the following is a method to determine the shear strength of soil?
Solution:
The triaxial compression test is a common method used to determine the shear strength of soil under controlled conditions.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what shear strength of soil means. It is the ability of soil to resist sliding or failure when forces are applied.
Step 2: Learn about different methods to test shear strength. There are several methods, but we will focus on one.
Step 3: Identify the triaxial compression test. This is a specific test used to measure the shear strength of soil.
Step 4: Know that in the triaxial compression test, a soil sample is placed in a chamber and subjected to controlled pressure and stress.
Step 5: Understand that the results from this test help engineers determine how strong the soil is and how it will behave under load.
