Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion: ?? = ? ′ + ???′ tan?′ Direct shear tests were conducted on dry soil originally. Since water ingress in the soil would reduce the soil strength. If I repeat the direct shear tests using saturated soil, will the values of ??, c’ and ?′ be different from those obtained from the dry test? If yes, how and why?
