Q3. Using Mohr's circle determine: (a) The theoretical direction of the failure planes in a triaxial test specimen. (b) The critical depth of the vertical cutting shown on the Figure Q3-1. (c) The stresses acting on the back of the retaining wall in Figure Q3-2 at a depth of 2.4 m (assuming soil at failure). (d) The stresses acting at the bottom of the bulldozer blade shown in Figure Q3-3.
