Direct Shear Testing Services – Soiltechnics Sdn Bhd

At Soiltechnics Sdn Bhd, we specialize in Direct Shear Testing, a key geotechnical service that helps determine the shear strength of soil, essential for safe and efficient foundation and slope design.

What Is Direct Shear Testing?
Direct shear testing measures the resistance of soil to shearing forces by applying stress until failure occurs along a predefined plane.

What To Expect During Your Direct Shear Test:

• Soil sample preparation and placement in a shear box

• Application of controlled normal and shear loads

• Measurement of shear force and displacement

• Comprehensive reporting of shear strength parameters

Process Of Direct Shear Testing:

• Collection of undisturbed or remoulded soil samples

• Testing under specific normal stress conditions

• Monitoring until shear failure occurs

• Analysis of results to determine cohesion and friction angle

Benefits Of Direct Shear Testing:

• Provides essential data for foundation and slope design

• Cost-effective and efficient testing method

• Ideal for granular soils

• Supports compliance with engineering and safety standards
