    The document describes the results of a direct shear test conducted on a soil specimen. It provides measurements of the specimen, details of the test including varying normal stresses applied and the measured shear stresses and displacements. It then summarizes the shear strength and angle of internal friction determined from the test results. Finally, it provides some general remarks on direct shear testing and factors that influence shear behavior of soils.

    GENERAL REMARKS
    1. In the shear box test, the specimen is not failing along its weakest plane but along a
    predetermined or induced failure plane i.e. horizontal plane separating the two halves of
    the shear box. This is the main draw back of this test. Moreover, during loading, the state of
    stress cannot be evaluated. It can be evaluated only at failure condition i.e Mohr􀳦s circle
    can be drawn at the failure condition only. Also failure is progressive.
    2. Direct shear test is simple and faster to operate. As thinner specimens are used in shear
    box, they facilitate drainage of pore water from a saturated sample in less time. This test is
    also useful to study friction between two materials 􀳦 one material in lower half of box and
    another material in the upper half of box.
    3. The angle of shearing resistance of sands depends on state of compaction, coarseness of
    grains, particle shape and roughness of grain surface and grading. It varies between
    28o(uniformly graded sands with round grains in very loose state) to 46 o(well graded sand
    with angular grains in dense state).
    4. The volume change in sandy soil is a complex phenomenon depending on gradation, particle
    shape, state and type of packing, orientation of principal planes, principal stress ratio, stress
    history, magnitude of minor principal stress, type of apparatus, test procedure, method of
    preparing specimen etc. In general loose sands expand and dense sands contract in volume on
    shearing. There is a void ratio at which either expansion contraction in volume takes place. This
    void ratio is called critical void ratio. Expansion or contraction can be inferred from the
    movement of vertical dial gauge during shearing.

    :Experience is affected by

    1. The nature of the sample.


    2. If the sample was dry or wet.
    3. If the sample was compacted or not.
