1 Soil Failure Criteria SHEAR STRENGTH OF SOIL Knowledge about the shear strength of soil important for the analysis of: Bearing capacity of foundations, Slope stability, Lateral pressure on retaining structures, etc. Soils fail in shear. Rutgers University Soil Mechanics Shear Strength 1 Rutgers University Soil Mechanics Shear Strength 2 Basic Concept of Shearing Resistance and Strength (from Murthy, 2003) Coulomb s Law s c tan Shear force F P tan a n m m where is angle of friction and tan the coefficient of friction. Shear stress is Fa Pn s tan tan A A Failure OK c cohesion angle of internal friction Rutgers University Soil Mechanics Shear Strength 3 Rutgers University Soil Mechanics Shear Strength 4 1

For normally consolidated clays = 0. For overconsolidated clays > 0. Rutgers University Soil Mechanics Shear Strength 7 Rutgers University Soil Mechanics Shear Strength 8 2

Shear Tests a) Direct Shear Laboratory test. Works well on sands, however it can be used for clays too. b) Simple Shear Laboratory test. Works well on both sands and clays. c) Torsional Shear Laboratory test. Works well on both sands and clays. d) Bore Hole Direct Shear Field test. Measures friction angle and cohesion on all soils in the field. e) Vane Shear Field test. Works well on cohesive fine-grained soils only. Measures undrained strength. Rutgers University Soil Mechanics Shear Strength 20 5
6 Shear Strength Tests 2. Compression Tests a) Triaxial Test Laboratory test. Works well on both sands (gravels) and clays. I Consolidated-Drained (CD) or slow II Consolidated-Undrained (CU) III Unconsolidated-Undrained (UU) or quick b) Unconfined Compression Test Uniaxial. Special case of UU test that measures the undrained shear strength. Principle: 1. Apply normal load. Direct Shear Test 2. Apply shear force until failure occurs. Two types of tests: 1. Stress controlled (controlled horizontal force). 2. Strain controlled. (Better for dense and overconsolidated clays.)

13 Laboratory Vane Shear Device Vane Shear - Torvane Rutgers University Soil Mechanics Shear Strength 52 Rutgers University Soil Mechanics Shear Strength 53 Triaxial Test Triaxial Test A very reliable test for evaluation of shear strength parameters. Tests conducted on cylindrical specimens of at least 2 (height) to 1 (diameter) ratio. Not a true triaxial test, since the lateral pressure in two directions cannot be varied. The test has two phases: 1. Consolidation phase The sample is subjected to hydrostatic (consolidation, cell) pressure. 2. Loading phase The sample is subjected to additional axial (deviatoric) loading until failure. Rutgers University Soil Mechanics Shear Strength 54 Rutgers University Soil Mechanics Shear Strength 55 13
14 Triaxial Test Based on the type of consolidation and loading, three test types: I Consolidated-Drained (CD) or slow II Consolidated-Undrained (CU) III Unconsolidated-Undrained (UU), or undrained, or quick test.

15 Consolidated-Drained Test (CD) Consolidated-Drained Triaxial Test Procedure: 1. Increase cell pressure 3 and allow dissipation of excess pore water pressure. 2. Deviatoric stress increased slowly so the Du d =0.
