Caution should be exercised in using these strength parameters for <br />applications involving normal stresses outside the range of the stresses covered by the test series. The large -displacement (LD) shear strength was calculated using the shear force measured at the end of the test. <br />1 <br />ml�AMZIWM <br />tt <br />DATE OF REPORT: 7/11/2015 <br />FIGURE NO.
