Triaxial shear strength testing is widely used in Bangladesh to determine the mechanical behavior of soils under controlled stress conditions. This test measures the soil’s strength parameters — cohesion and internal friction angle — which are crucial for designing stable foundations, embankments, and retaining structures. Given Bangladesh’s diverse geotechnical conditions, from soft clays in river basins to sandy soils in coastal areas, triaxial testing provides essential data for safe and resilient construction, especially in flood-prone and earthquake-sensitive regions.
