Step-by-step solution

Step 1 of 13

Consider the soil element as follows:

Comment

Step 2 of 13

Find the center of Mohr’s circle by using the following formula:

Comment

Step 3 of 13

Procedure to draw Mohr’s circle.

• Locate the center of Mohr’s circle O on the graph
• Draw the lines for normal stresses (15 and 25) and shear
stress (6 and -6) on the graph.
• Represent the intersection points w,x,y, and z as shown in
figure.
• Draw a circle with radius of Ow as shown in figure.

Comment

Step 4 of 13

Draw the Mohr’s circle.

Comment

Step 5 of 13

Procedure to determine the pole point.

• Draw a vertical line from the point (15,-6) onto the Mohr’s
circle.
• Draw a horizontal line from the point (25,6) onto the Mohr’s
circle.
• The intersection point (w) is the pole point.

Comment

Step 6 of 13

Represent the Pole point on the graph as follows:

Comment

Step 7 of 13

Procedure to determine the normal and shear stresses on the

plane AB:
• Draw a line from the pole point (parallel to plane AB) with an
angle of with horizontal axis onto Mohr’s circle.
• The intersection point (P) gives normal and shear stresses on
plane AB.

Comment

Step 8 of 13

Determine the major, minor principal stresses and normal stress,

shear stress on the plane AB as shown in figure.

Comment

Step 9 of 13

(a)
Obtain the values of minor and major principal stresses from the
graph.

Therefore, the major principal stress is and the minor

principal stress is .

Comments (1)

Step 10 of 13

(b)
Obtain the values of normal stress and shear stress on plane AB
from the graph.

Therefore, the normal stress on plane AB is and the

shear stress on plane AB is .

Comment

Step 11 of 13

Check:
Check the obtained stresses from pole method by using
mathematical approach.
Calculate the maximum principal stress by using the following
formula:

Calculate the minimum principal stress by using the following

formula:

Hence, the minimum and maximum principal stresses which are

calculated by using mathematical approach are equal to the
stresses calculated by using pole method.
Therefore, Check is correct.

Comment

Step 12 of 13

Calculate the normal stress on plane AB by using the

mathematical approach as follows:

Comment

Step 13 of 13

Calculate the shear stress on plane AB by using the

mathematical approach as follows:

Hence, the normal and shear stresses which are calculated by

using mathematical approach are equal to the stresses
calculated by using pole method.
Therefore, Check is correct.
