Stat 120A Dataset for Controlled Study by On Lei Annie Kwok Datafile: soiltest.txt In order to understand the behavior of soil under earthquake loading, we have to perform the so-called simple shear test. This test allows us to know the stress strain relationship of a particular soil. This dataset contains the simple shear test result for a sandy silty soil retrieved from a boring in Desert Hot Spring at 55 ft. In this test, shear strain of the soil is varied and shear stress at different strain value is measured. Variables "strain" shear strain of soil, in percent "stress" shear stress of soil, in MPa Possible research questions: How does shear strain and shear stress related?
