Shear strength of soil is a critical engineering property that describes the ability of soil to resist shear stresses, which are forces that cause material to slide past one another. The shear strength of soil is essential for understanding the stability of slopes, foundations, and other geotechnical structures. Shear strength is influenced by several factors, including: 1. **Cohesion**: This is the component of shear strength that comes from the attraction between soil particles.
