A soil element given in the figure on the right is under the influence of maximum 15 kN/m² and minimum 5 kN/m² stresses. As seen in the figure, the maximum shear stress (t) acting on a 50" plane is the normal stress and shear stress

their values;

a) Graphically using the geometric method,

b) Find computationally with empirical relations.

Note: Be sure to specify the scale we used in the drawings we made using the geometric method. Drawings made without scale will not be evaluated.
