List of top Soil and Water Conservation Engineering Questions on Shear Strength asked in GATE AG

A shear annulus with inner and outer diameters of 240 mm and 300 mm is used to measure soil shear strength. The torque at failure is 50 N·m. Shear strength of soil in kPa is (Take $\pi = 3.14$)
A cohesionless soil forms a natural infinite slope at \(25^\circ\). If the effective friction angle is \(30^\circ\), determine the factor of safety (round off to 2 decimals).
