Question

Explain mohr coulomb crieteria with suitable example also explain slope and phi

Answer 1

Equation (82) is referred to as theMohr-Coulomb failure criteria. The value of c for sands and normally consolidated clays is equal to zero. For overconsolidated clays, c > 0. For most day-to-day work, the shear strength parameters of a soil (that is, c and ϕ) are determined by two standard laboratory tests.
