The in-situ direct shear testing method both in large-scale and in small scale developed by Matsuoka et al. has been widely applied to determine shear strengths of soils ranging from coarse-grained rockfill materials to clays in Japan. Owing to its simplicity and possibility of determining shear strengths of coarse-grained rockfill materials in-situ, the testing method has been paid attention to abroad. In this paper, we reports an application case in a Chinese dam construction field.
