Box Shear Test for Soil Parameters

Box shear test is used to quickly predict the angle of internal friction and cohesion of soil, which are required values for the design of foundations, retaining walls, slab bridges, and sheet piling. The test allows for determining these soil parameters that are needed for engineering problems involving the design of such structures.
