2 A Temporary Excavation Project Is Braced With A Steel Tube Strut The Horizontal Stress On A Soil Particle At Point A 1 (135.23 KiB) Viewed 19 times

2. A temporary excavation project is braced with a steel tube strut. The horizontal stress on a soil particle at point A just behind the wall has been measured to be 40 kN/m². The vertical stress can be calculated from the information given. Sketch the stress element at point A and show the stresses acting on it (you may assume the shear stresses are zero). b. Draw Mohr's circle for this element and determine the maximum shear stress and the direction it acts C. Using the Pole Point method graphically determine the stresses acting on a plane oriented at 60° from the horizontal plane. H=1.25 m ZA Y=16 kn/m³ 60⁰
