3. A soil block 50 mm long, 30 mm high, and 10 mm thick is subjected to uniformly-distributed compressive forces (see figure). Using Mohr's circle, determine the stress components developed at a. the planes that are at +45° and + 135⁰ with the x-axis b. along the diagonal AB. What is the maximum shear stress that the soil block can carry? 30 kN- A 30mm 50mm 45 KN B
