Consolidated Drained Direct Shear Test: (IS: 2720 (Part 13) - 1986)

This document summarizes the results of a consolidated drained direct shear test on a soil sample. The test measured shear stress at different levels of normal stress from 0.5 to 5 kg/cm2. Shear stress increased linearly from 0.44 to 1.49 kg/cm2 as normal stress increased from 0.5 to 2 kg/cm2. Analysis of the shear stress-normal stress graph yielded a cohesion value of 0 and a phi value of 34.6 for the soil sample.
