Computations:
For Soil Properties Before and After Test
Then, used the converted units to get the value of the Normal Stress using the Area of the
ring=2827.43mm2
>>>Shear Force
Note: In the reading on the shear force the unit used was kgf, therefore convert it to Newton
(1kgf=9.81 N), then used it for the value of Shear stress using the Area of the ring=2827.43mm2
