What is the shear strength
What is the shear strength of soil? This is a key question for ground engineers and is vital to any design project. The reason it’s so important is that at some point, everything that is built makes contact with the ground – and transfers load into it. Understanding what influences the strength of a soil and quantifying it, are always the first steps to be taken.
Soil strength is used in soil mechanics to describe the force to be overcome in order to fail a soil by shear. Soil strength depends on many elements, one fundamental consideration being the type of soil. The particles of most soils are essentially incompressible, and soil masses have no tensile strength. Soils fail when one block of soil moves relative to another block and the soil particles at the failure plane move over each other. This is what is known as shear.
