The figure shows a soil subjected to normal and shear stresses:
σx = 40 kN/m2 , σy = 100 kN/m2 , and τxy = 40 kN/m2 . Answer the
following questions (Indicate the answer on Mohr’s circle and write
down the value).
a. The center of the Mohr’s circle.
b. The radius of the Mohr’s circle.
c. The soil stresses on the horizontal and vertical planes on
the Mohr’s circle.
d. The inclination angle between the principal and horizontal
planes.
e. The principal stresses.
f. The stresses on the plane with an inclination angle of 30°
from the horizontal plane.
g. The pole.
