The 13 pages that link to Shear strength, each with the reason it gives.

• LandslideRelated: Failure occurs when stress along a potential slip surface exceeds this resistance.

• Tensile strengthCompared with: Shear failure involves sliding rather than the direct pulling measured in tension.

• Geotechnical engineeringRelated: Sets the resistance used to assess bearing failure, landslides, and retaining-wall stability.

• Debris flowRelated: Debris flows begin when downslope stress overcomes the sediment's shear strength.

• Effective stressRelated: In soil mechanics, effective stress strongly controls frictional shear strength.

• Mass wastingRelated: It measures the resistance that must be overcome for slope failure.

• Slope stabilityRelated: It supplies the resistance that must counter shear stresses within a potentially moving slope.

• Angle of reposeRelated: A pile fails when gravitational shear stress exceeds the granular material's resistance.

• Soil mechanicsRelated: It governs whether soil masses and foundations resist sliding or fail.

• BrazingRelated: Brazed lap joints commonly transfer loads through shear across their bonded area.

• MudflowRelated: A mudflow begins when gravitational stress overcomes the soil's shear strength.

• RockslideRelated: A rockslide begins when driving stresses exceed the resisting strength of rock or discontinuities.

• Base (foundation)Related: Shear resistance helps prevent supporting ground from sliding or failing under a base.
