Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering

23.

Which one of the following statements is true for Mohr-Coulomb envelope ?

Coulomb suggests that the relationship between shear strength and normal stress, is adequately represented by the straight line

The generalised Mohr theory suggests that, though the shear stress depends on the normal stress, the relation is not linear

Coulomb and Mohr suggest that a definite relationship exists among the principal stress and the angle of internal friction

For an ideal pure friction material, the straight line passes through the origin.

All the above.
