Limiting states 1. The MC describes the state of stress of our point in the field. That is, the MC shows us the values of the two principal stresses and the value of the maximum shear stress that the point is sustaining in the field. Consider a point in a geostatic soil mass. For our point, o'vo = 100 kPa and o'ho = 40 kPa. Take a sheet of paper and draw the Mohr Circle for this point carefully. 2. Now, we know that o'ho is a principal stress because t = 0 on the vertical plane (in the field). Similarly, o'vo is a principal stress because t = 0 on the horizontal plane (in the field). What is the value of t on the plane inclined 45 degrees clockwise from the horizontal? Go ahead and use your drawn MC to find this value. The value should be t = 30 kPa. 3. Note that the value found (t = 30 kPa) is the maximum shear stress that the point is supporting in the field, as it is under o'v = 100 kPa and o'h = 40 kPa. Consider now a situation in which o'h remains at 40 kPa, but o'y grows to 120…
