Question
5. Consider a fault plane with a dip of 90 degrees. The maximum principle stress
operating on that plane (01) is oriented vertical with a value of 200 MPa. The minimum
principle stress operating on that plane (03) is oriented horizontal with a value of 50
Mpa. Determine the resulting normal and shear stress components on that plane.
given equations:
Normal Stress Component: on = [(01 + 03 )/2] +([((01 - 03 )/2) Cos 20]
Shear Stress Component os = [(01 - 03 )/2] Sin 20
