10 | Designer’s Forum | Atechnical note regarding interpretation of cohesion (or adhesion) and friction angle in direct shear tests By Richard Thiel Introduction Disses testing with geoghe {cs is generally performed in accor- dance with ASTM D5321, Standard Test ‘Method for Determining the Coefficient of Soil to Geosynthetic or Geosynthetic to Geosynthetic Friction by the Direct Shear ‘Method. There is also a related standard, 16243, Standard Test Method for Deter- ‘mining the Internal and Interface Shear Resistance of Geosynthetic Clay Liner by the Direct Shear Method. This technical note applies to both equally. Interpreting lab results ‘There is often confusion expressed in the industry regarding how laboratory re- sults should be interpreted, specifically: whether one should use both the fric- tion angle and cohesion (or adhesion) parameters; whether cohesion should be ignored; whether secant friction angles ies mon morons vist ie i data are nonlinear; and how the data should be interpolated or extrapolated. ‘The goal of this technical note is to provide some guidance to take the mys- tery out of these questions. In the end, all data should be evaluated by an expe- rienced practitioner qualified to use the test results properly ‘What this note will not do is go into the subtleties of requesting, setting up, calibrating, and performing a direct shear test. That would be the subject of additional articles.
