A geotechnical engineer is evaluating the stability of a silty sand slope as shown (next page). This evaluation is considering the potential for a shear failure at an infinitesimal point (soil element) on the trial shear surface. At this particular point, the soil is found to be subjected to a major principal stress of +450 kN/m2 and a minor principal stress of +50 kN/m2. (A) Using the Pole Method, find the intensity of the normal and shear stresses acting on...

A drained triaxial test is conducted on a soil with friction angle of 25° and zero cohesion, using a chamber pressure sc=300 kPa and a back pressure (this is the term used to denote the initial value of the pore pressure, u0) equal to 200 kPa. The shear stage of the test is performed DRAINED by increasing the axial stress s1, while concurrently decreasing the chamber pressure s3 so that their sum remains constant (s1+s3 = constant). Draw the effective...
