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

“…In these two tests, different shearing conditions are applied to soil samples. For the direct shear test, shearing occurs at a predetermined center of the specimen which may not be the weakest plane of the soil while indirect simple shear, the entire specimen distorts without the formation of single shearing surface. …”
