Abstract: The article offers information on the several triaxial test procedures for the measurement of the shear strength of soils. Topics discussed include information on the factors affecting the effective shear strength parameters includes compressibility, pore pressure changes and voids ratio changes; discussions on the advantage of multistage testing; discussions on the stress conditions and soil behaviour.
