Q.4 (a) An initial stress element is shown in Figure Q.4a below. The magnitudes and directions of the stresses are also indicated in the same figure. (i) Draw the Mohr's Circle and label the critical points in the circle. (5 marks) (ii) Draw and label the complete principal stress element. (5 marks) (iii) Draw and label the complete shear stress element.
