Shear Stress 3. Please provide proper discussion and illustration. Clear and complete solution please thank you. It is known that the angle of internal friction for the soil comprising a granular deposit is 37°. At one depth in the deposit, the lateral pressure is 45 kPa, and this is considered the value of the minor principal stress. Use the Mohr’s circle analysis to determine the maximum verticalp ressure (major principal stress) that can be applied (i.e. the vertical pressure for incipient shear)

(1a) A normally consolidated clay layer is 18 m thick. Natural water content is 45 %, saturated unit weight is 18 kN/m3, grain specific gravity is 2.7 and liquid limit is 63 %. The vertical stress increment at the center of clay layer due to foundation load is 9 kPa. Ground water table is at the surface. Determine the settlement. (1b) Estimate the settlement of a 10 m square area loaded 1 m at 100 kN/ m3 placed 1 m below ground level with ground water at the level of the footing. The static cone resistance values for the sand deposit are as follows: G.L to 6 m = 8000kN/m3,6 -11 mm = 10,000kN/, below 11 m =12,000kN/m3.
