Question:

A 3.66 m by 7.32 m rectangular shaft is sunk to a depth of 914 m in ground where the premining stress field is given by formulas Sv = 27.2h, Sh = 826 + 11.3h, SH = 22, 345 + 6.8h where h is depth in m and the stresses are in kPa. Show by sketch, the best orientation of the shaft relative to the directions of h and H. Is this the best orientation at all depths?
