The soil in a deposit underlying an area where a level ground surface exists has a unit weight of\ 21 kN/m3.


(a) Determine the principal stresses at a depth of 5 m below the soil surface if the lateral pressure is one-half the vertical pressure. The vertical pressure (stress) is the product of the soil unit weight and depth.


(b) Determine the value of the maximum shear stress at the 5-m depth.
