BS 1377-7: 1990 : Methods of test for soils for civil engineering purposes — Part 7. Shear strength tests (total stress)

This part of BS 1377 describes methods of test for determining shear strength parameters of soils in terms of total stresses, or (in the case of drained direct shear tests) in terms of effective stresses which are equal to total stresses. None of these procedures therefore requires measurement of pore water pressure, which is covered in Part 8 of BS 1377. Shear strength is determined either by measuring the shearing force causing failure (direct shear tests), or by derivation from the measured compressive strength (unconfined or triaxial compression tests).
