    Conclusion Shear Box Test

    Uploaded by

    Farhana Hussin
    The experiment using a direct shear box to test the shear strength of soil was conducted successfully, though some errors occurred. The apparatus was not in good condition, causing errors in readings. Additionally, parallax errors arose from not reading the gauge perpendicularly. The shear strength of cohesionless soil was higher according to the experiment, though the data did not reach a constant value and decreased after twice the constant reading, possibly due to apparatus errors.

    Conclusion

    As a conclusion the experiment of shear box test was conduct successfully. While
    conducting this experiment, there was some error occur that have disturb the reading of the
    apparatus. Firstly, the error was the apparatus error. The apparatus was not really in good
    condition to conduct the experiment but the data still can be determined. Next, the error is
    parallax error. When reading the gauge reading, the eyes should read perpendicularly to the
    scale of the apparatus. In this experiment the characteristic of shear strength of soil using
    direct shear box apparatus is higher for cohesionless soil. The data from the experiment dont
    reach the constant value. The horizontal displacement reading decrease after reached two
    times of constant readings. This occur may due to the error that came from the apparatus. A
    close examination of the failure mechanism in the direct shear box shows that kinking was
    the dominant mode of deformation, which was different from that in the ring shear.
