Abstract

In order to provide precise shear strength indexes for a building foundation pit supporting project, the second layer and the third layer of foundation soil were in-situ direct shear test. In-situ direct shear test has its own advantages in projects, and it simulates the real soil condition and reflects practical shear strength. But in-situ shear test requires lots of manpower, material resources and financial resources, so it is not convenient to carry out a lot in practical projects.
