Shear strength is a term used in soil mechanics to describe the magnitude of the shear stress that a soil can sustain. The shear resistance of soil is a result of friction and interlocking of particles, and possibly cementation or bonding at particle contacts.
Muscular strength can refer to either isometric strength or dynamic strength. Isometric strength is a measure of how much force can be exerted against an immovable object or fixed resistance. Standing in a doorway and pressing one's hands outward against the frame is an example of using isometric strength.
