azurite opined,
it seems impractical to run a direct shear test for over an hour on any sample...
We've been doing these kinds of tests for about 50 to 60 years now. Tedious, boring, time consuming - yes. But impractical? No. Given the availability of relatively inexpensive data acquisition system (DAS) hardware and software - and dirt cheap PCs, dedicated DAS is more practical than ever. If you don't want to sit up all night taking readings, install a DAS. You can do it for less than $1,500. The payback period is pretty quick at that price -
