Shear strength - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

ICC (EC) Soils - Material Testing (Edit), Combined | Latest Version | 2024/2025 | Graded A+ What is the purpose of soil compaction in construction? Soil compaction increases the density of the soil, enhancing its strength and stability, which is crucial for supporting structures. How is the plasticity index determined, and what does it indicate about soil? The plasticity index is determined by subtracting the plastic limit from the liquid limit; it indicates the range of moisture...

Strain - correct answer An alteration in the shape or volume of a soil related to stress. It is calculated as the ratio of the new shape compared to the original shape Effective Stress - correct answer The total amount of stress placed on a soil minus the pore-water pressure Normal Stress - correct answer The component of total stress that acts perpendicular to the plane. Shear stress - correct answer The component of total stress that acts parallel to any point in question. Dila...
