The laboratory report cover the laboratory procedures for determining these values for cohesionless soils. Knowledge of Equipment: Strain controlled direct shear machine consists of shear box, soil container, loading unit, proving ring, dial gauge to measure shear deformation and volume changes.
Calculations are to be done using the observations taken from the test as follows: Size of the box = Area of the box = Thickness of specimen = Mass of specimen = Volume of specimen = Bulk Density of soil = Dry density of soil = Void ratio =
