- Soil failure usually occurs in the form of “shearing” along internal surface within the soil. The shear strength of a soil mass is the internal resistance per unit area that the soil mass can offer to resist failure and sliding along any plane inside it. The safety of any geotechnical structure is dependent on the strength of the soil.

What is shear strength in geotechnical engineering?
Therefore, the shear strength of a saturated, fine−grained soil will generally change (increase) with time as excess pore pressures dissipate. This period, we discuss different strength models for fine−grained soils that are based on combinations of total stresses and effective stress.
Shear strength is defined as the maximum shear stress that the soil may sustain without experiencing failure. Shear strength is a critical parameter in geotechnical projects. It is needed to derive the bearing capacity, design retaining walls, evaluate the stability of slopes and embankments, etc.
Determine the shear strength of soils. Understand the difference between drained and undrained shear strength. Determine the type of shear test that best simulates field conditions. Interpret laboratory and field test results to obtain shear strength parameters.
In soil mechanics, the stresses are simulated as follows: normal stresses: compressive stresses are taken with a positive sign. shear stresses: they are taken with a positive sign when they tend to rotate the plane on which they act counterclockwise. Basic equations for the Mohr's circle. Basic observations about Mohr’s circle
Shear Strength in Soils : - The shear strength of a soil is its resistance to shearing stresses. - It is a measure of the soil resistance to deformation by continuous displacement of its individual soil particles. - Shear strength in soils depends primarily on interactions between particles.
