Soil Mechanics Fundamental

Problems :
10.1 A soil element is subjected to the boundary stresses shown as in Fig.
Prob. 10.1. Determine analytically. (not graphically) the normal
stress and the shear stress on the -plane as identified. Note
that only the magnitudes of the shear stress are shown in the figure.
Their correct signs shall be determined according to the sign
convention of Fig. 10.2 for the analytical equations.

10.4 Do the same as in Prob. 10.1 for the different conditions seen in Fig.
Prob.10.4.

10.11 A triangular soil element is subjected to the boundary stresses as

shown. Determine the normal stress c and the shear stress c on the
C-plane as identified.
