Shear Stress 3. Please provide proper discussion and illustration. Clear and complete solution please thank you. It is known that the angle of internal friction for the soil comprising a granular deposit is 37°. At one depth in the deposit, the lateral pressure is 45 kPa, and this is considered the value of the minor principal stress. Use the Mohr’s circle analysis to determine the maximum verticalp ressure (major principal stress) that can be applied (i.e. the vertical pressure for incipient shear)
