If the surface grade is lowered, what is the results in the subsurface stresses?
Homework Answers
Answer #1
Since it is not specifically mentioned I am assuming that b subsurface stresses it is meant for subsurface stresses in soil.
Now let us analyze the effect of lowering of the surface grade:
So, as we can see due to lowering of the
surface grade effective stress gets reduced.

Stresses at a point are: 60 MPa in the x-direction, 80
MPa in the y-direction and no shear stress in this reference x-y
plane. Note that these are already the principal stresses and the

at 45o clockwise from the principal planes? Show them on a
properly-oriented element. Mohr’c cirle is to be used and no
equations will be accepted.
