The Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion is popularly adopted in soil mechanics analysis. Give an illustrated (with a suitable sketch) description of this failure criterion, which the inclination of the plane of failure (0) to the horizontal caused by shear in a soil sample tested in a standard triaxial test is given by; e = (45 + where Ø' is the angle of effective friction.

Urgently required
A vane shear test was performed on saturated clay layer at the site and it is noted that a torque of 45 N-m was required to shear the soil. In order to remould the soil, the vane was rotated rapidly under the certain value of torque say "x". If the sensitivity of the clay is 8, then calculate the value of "x" in N-m. Assume diameter and length of the vane to be 70 mm and 130 mm respectively, consider two way shearing,
