SHEAR STRENGTH

Ronnie Patrick Masida/Lecturer/JKA/POLIKK/JUNE 2015

 Course Learning Outcome (CLO)

Student should be able to:

1. Understand shear strength of soil

 State the parameter of shear strength of soil
 Define the shear strength of soil and its usage

2. Understand Mohr-Coulomb criteria for failure of soil

 Explain Coulomb and Mohr method
 State the criteria for failure of granular soil, cohesion soil
and granular-cohesion soil
 Relate shear failure plane and the parameter of shear
strength (c & ϕ) by drawing the Mohr circle
