ABSTRACT: Soil behaviour could be investigated using different types of laboratory testing systems. Among them, triaxial compression and direct shear tests are commonly used for practical engineering. However, in many field problems, the stress state and loading conditions are similar to simple shear conditions. It is also well-known that the response under loading depends on soil type. In the present study, behavior of two sands, namely silica sand and Ottawa sand, is investigated by conducting a series of constant height direct simple shear tests. Tests were conducted on dry sands specimens at loose and medium dense conditions. The samples were sheared by monotonic loading. It is shown that the undrained response of sand depends on relative density, and size and shape of soil grains.
