engineering recuitment DDA JE Civil 2023 Mock Test Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Shear Strength
Determine the shear strength in terms of effective stress on a plane within a saturated soil mass at a point where the total normal stress is 180 kN/m2 and the pore water pressure is 60 kN/m2. The effective shear strength parameters of soil (cohesion = 15 kN/m2 and angle of shearing resistance = 30°). Take \(\sqrt{3}\) = 1.7 for calculation.
