Shear Strength of Soil ():
Internal resistance of soil / unit area.
MOHR-COULOMB Failure Criteria:
Theory of rupture for materials failure under combined and
any stress state that combined effect reaches the failure plane
Along the failure plane f = f()
Failure envelope is a curved line approximated by linear relationship
Mohr-Coulomb failure criteria:

Shear Strength Parameters in Laboratory:
Unconfined Compression Test of Saturated Clay:
A type of unconsolidated-undrained triaxial test
For clayey samples (Cohesive)
3 = 0 (confining pressure)
Axial load (1) applied to fail the sample (relatively rapid)
At failure 3f = 0 and 1f = major principal stress
Therefore undrained shear strength is independent of confining pressure
f = 1 / 2 = qu / 2 = Cu or Su

Direct Shear Test (stress or strain controlled):
Specimen is square or circular
Box splits horizontally in halves
Normal force is applied on top shear box
Shear forces is applied to move one half of the box relative to the other (to fail specimen)
Stress Controlled: Shear force applied in equal increments until failure
Failure plane is predetermined (horizontal)
Horizontal deformation & H is measured under each load.

Drained Direct Shear Test on Saturated Sand & Clay:
Test conducted on saturated sample at slow rate of loading allowing excess pore water to
dissipate.
For sand (k is high pwp dissipates quickly) Therefore under drained conditions ~ same
For clay (k is low under load consolidation takes time, therefore load needs to be applied
very slow).

Slope Stability
Slope Stability: The engineering assessment
Of the stability of natural and man-made
Slopes as influenced by natural or induced
Changes to their environment.
Studied by analytical (closed-form) or
numerical (approximate) methods.
Both methods are simplification of actual
Geological, mechanical and other aspects.

The stability of a slope depends on


its ability to sustain the effects of
load increases or environmental
changes.
Pre-failure analysis: to assess
safety of slope and its intended
performance.
Post-failure analysis: study of
failure and processes causing it.

Circular surface Friction circle (, c soil):
Trial circle through toe.
The friction circle method attempts to satisfy the requirement of complete equilibrium by
assuming that the direction of the resultant of the normal and frictional component of
strength mobilized along the failure surface corresponds to a line that forms a tangent to
the friction circle with radius:

Slope Stability
Method of Slices (limit equilibrium):
Soil divided to vertical slices, width of each can vary.
The previous methods do not depend on the distribution of the effective normal stresses
along the failure surface. The contribution is accounted for by dividing the failing slope
mass into smaller slices and treating each individual slice as a unique sliding block.
Non-circular:

Circular:

The discretization of the slip surface to elements results in two


force components acting on each: Normal and Shear forces. The
other unknown is the location of line of action of the normal force
for each element.
However the equilibrium conditions:
Fx=0, Fy=0, M=0
No. of unknowns = No. of slices * 3
Therefore assumptions should
be made.

If the wall moves towards the fill (soil) pressure will increase and reach to passive
