Question

A soil element is shown in Figure 10.38. Using the pole meathod, determine:

a. Maximum and minimum principle stresses.

b. Normal and shear stresses on plane AB

Solve this problem three ways: first via equations, second via Mohr’s circle and the two-theta method, and third via Mohr’s circle and the origin of planes. All methods should give the same answer.
