Shear strength of soil is crucial in geotechnical engineering as it helps determine the stability of slopes, foundations, retaining walls, tunnels and dams.
Shear strength is an important property of soil that plays a crucial role in geotechnical engineering. It is defined as the maximum shear stress that a soil can sustain without failure or rupture. Understanding the shear strength of soil is critical for designing safe and stable structures such as buildings, bridges, dams, and tunnels.
