Geotechnical Engineering 5

This document discusses shear strength of soils and contains information about geotechnical engineering, shear stresses, normal stresses, and direct shear tests. It includes 10 situations describing states of stress with questions about determining principal stresses, maximum shear, and stresses on specific planes. It also describes a direct shear test involving shear box tests on soil with varying normal loads and measured shear forces at failure, asking questions to determine cohesion and friction angle values.
