PLEASE HELP B-F!!6A=100kPa
Refer to the given element of soil with applied stresses as indicated in the figure below for 6 a through 6f.
a. Determine the major principal stress (1)(in units of kPa ).
b. Find the minor principal stress (3)(in units of kPa ).
c. Find the normal stress () acting on a plane inclined 30 degrees counter-clockwise from the horizontal (in units of kPa ).
d. Find the shear stress () acting on a plane inclined 30 degrees counter-clockwise from the horizontal (in units of kPa ).
e. Find the maximum shear stress (max) acting within the specimen (in units of kPa ).
f. Determine the inclination of the plane that the maximum shear stress acts on in degrees from the horizontal (inclination from the horizontal).
