Test for Determination of Shear Strength

The term shear strength is often associated with the soil. Shear strength is defined as the resistance to the deformation of soil particles due to the continuous action of shear stress. In short, shear strength is the maximum shear stress that a soil can sustain.

Question

In a standard penetration test, the blows are
recorded as 1/20/30. If correction factor for
overburden is 0.90, the standard penetration
resistance, N-value corrected for overburden and
dilatancy is.
