FAQ

What is the Shear Stress in Soil Mechanics?
Shear Stress in Soil Mechanics is force tending to cause deformation of a material by slippage along a plane or planes parallel to the imposed stress. Shear Stress in Soil Mechanics is usually measured using the Kilonewton per Square Meter for Stress. Note that the value of Shear Stress in Soil Mechanics is always positive.
Can the Shear Stress in Soil Mechanics be negative?
No, the Shear Stress in Soil Mechanics, measured in Stress cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Shear Stress in Soil Mechanics?
Shear Stress in Soil Mechanics is usually measured using the Kilonewton per Square Meter[kN/m²] for Stress. Pascal[kN/m²], Newton per Square Meter[kN/m²], Newton per Square Millimeter[kN/m²] are the few other units in which Shear Stress in Soil Mechanics can be measured.
