Question: NOTE: Mohr Circles must be drawn to scale with equal scales for ( x ) and ( y ) axes. NOTE:

NOTE: Mohr Circles must be drawn to scale with equal scales for \( x \) and \( y \) axes.
NOTE: for Problems 1 and 2 below it is common practice to compute the net stress applied to the soil after construction. For example, in Problem 1(Problem 10.29 in Holtz et al.) the foundation will be constructed at a depth of 2 meters below ground surface at which prior to construction the effective stress \(=(2\mathrm{~m})\left(16\mathrm{kN}/\mathrm{m}^{3}\right)=32\mathrm{kPa}\). After construction the foundation has an applied stress \(\mathrm{q}=200\mathrm{kPa}\) and thus the net change in stress applied to the soil at the base of the foundation \(=200-32=168\mathrm{kPa}\).
1. Problem 10.29 in Holtz et al. For part (a) the question is asking for \(\sigma^{\prime} w \) prior to installation of the foundation. For part (b) use Table 10.4 to solve for increase in stress at Point 0 in the middle of clay layer. For Part (c) treat the clay layer as a single unit and compute settlement due to increase in stress at middle of clay layer determined in Part (b)(i.e., we are not assuming 1-D loading in this problem).
2. Problem 10.30 in Holtz et al. You can do this problem in English units (TSF = tons per square foot). Give final answer in pounds per square foot (psf). Use Tables 10.4 and 10.5 to solve. Note the header in Table 10.5 that has \( r /(B /2)\) should be \( x /(B /2)\)
3. For a soil element under geostatic stress conditions with a vertical stress equal to 500 kPa and a horizontal stress equal to 250 kPa . Draw Mohr circle and determine: a) the maximum shear stress and the orientation of the plane upon which it acts (i.e., angle of the plane relative to the horizontal), and b) the normal and shear stress on a plane oriented +30 degrees from the horizontal.
4. Draw Mohr circle and determine the magnitude of the principal stresses and the orientation of the planes which they act upon (i.e., angle of the plane relative to the horizontal) for the following stress condition.
