This procedure is suitable for determining the total shear strength parameters and effective shear strength parameters of fine-grained soil and sandy soil. According to different drainage conditions, this test is divided into three test types: unconsolidated undrained shear (UU); consolidated undrained shear (CU or CU-) and consolidated drained shear (CD).
