Computations indicate that a planned building loading will cause the principal stresses in the soil at a point beneath the building to increase to total values of 4,500 psf and 1,500 psf (major and minor principal stresses,respectively). If the soil is a dry sand with an angle of internal friction equal to 35°, will the indicated stresses cause a shear failure at the point?

Introduction to Architectural Drafting

Architectural drafting converts vision and ideas into technical drawings and detailed plans for the construction of buildings, such as institutional, residential, and commercial buildings. It helps engineers and architects to outline the working data and details, such as structure type, codes, elements, and kind of materials.
