Consider a potential failure slope plane. Three soil samples are taken from different locations: Sample I at the top tension zone, Sample II at the middle flat section, and Sample III at the bottom toe passive zone. Which is the most appropriate shear strength test combination to identify the failure mechanism at locations I, II, and III respectively? Let P: Triaxial compression, Q: Triaxial extension, R: Direct shear test.
