2.0 Direct Shear <br />The Direct shear tests were performed in general accordance with ASTM D3080. <br />The test is performed by deforming a specimen at a controlled strain rate on or near a <br />single shear plane determined by the configuration of the apparatus. Generally, three or <br />more specimens are tested, each under a different normal load, to determine the effects <br />upon shear resistance and displacement, and strength properties such as Mohr strength <br />envelopes.
