Direct shear and direct simple shear tests: a comparative study of the strength parameters and their dependence on moisture and fines contents

Shear strength of soil is characterized by cohesion, angle of internal friction and dilatation. The first two parameters mentioned primarily define the soil's ability to resist shear stress underspecified load. These parameters can be determined by tests conducted either in the laboratory or the fie...
