"skjuvhållfastheten hos utfyllda massor" must "uppnått en skjuvhållfasthet om 25 kPa"

shearing resistance
Another option, but "shear strength" is perfectly good.
Jane, please post your answer as a real answer and get the points!!!

But to my mind, the "skjuv" bit refers to shearing movements, and "hållfasthet" alone refers to strength in the absence of such movements. That seems pretty clear to me - do you have a reason why you aren't convinced?
Thanks for your comment; but is it really as simple as "shear strength"?
And no difference between "hållfastheten" and "skjuvhållfasthet"?
