answer) or fill in Part 2: Multiple Choice/short answer (circle the letter corresponding to the correa the blanks (0.5 point each) 1) The purpose of the direct shear test is to determine which of the following... a) Compression index b) Grain size c) Cohesion d) Angle of internal friction e) Undrained Shear Strength 3) If the present effective stress is more than the maxi describe the soil in terms of consolidation as_ mum stress the soil has experienced in the past, you can The purpose of the unconfined compression test is to determine the of the soil.

Explanation / Answer

1)direct shear test is used to determine the shear strength of soil as well as rock, through the pre determine failure surface,
