Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
C
In soil mechanics, the shear strength of a soil is a unique function of
The shear strength of soil depends on both the effective stress and the total stress acting on the soil mass.
Effective stress refers to the stress carried by the soil grains themselves, while total stress includes the stress carried by both the soil grains and the pore water.
Therefore, the correct option is both effective stress and total stress.
