Cohesion is a measure of the resistance due to intermolecular forces.
Cohesion is a measure of the resistance due to intermolecular forces.
The clay near the edges has a strong cohesion with the adjacent clay surrounding the footing, causing the nonuniform pressure distribution.
The concrete specimen under axial compression may fail in shear. Resistance to failure is due to both cohesion and internal friction.
