Can we determine Soil Shear Modulus from Direct Shear Test ( UU or CU)
as the F/A
G= _______
xl/li
where G = soil shear modulus , F/A= Stress(Mpa) and xl/li= strain (mm)
from the 3 loads normal load vs shear strength ( 1 2 3)
or from Graph ?
I calculated the young's Modulus of an intact Rock by UCS. Stress/Strain at max.
so what is it's proper unit when stress is kg/cm2 and strain in mm
and is it right if I put L length is cm and deflection in mm ( Delta L mm / Li cm) or its unit must be the same? ( both are mm) ?
Here I am confused with the ks value that is ks=p/s where P (kg/cm2) is contact pressure and S (mm) is Settlement.
what is the the ks unit, According to
