In a non-cohesive soil in the passive state of plastic equilibrium, the correct condition is:
The major principal stress is horizontal.
This scenario is typical for passive earth pressure conditions in soil mechanics, where the soil is resisting lateral movement, and the major principal stress tends to be horizontal (acting along the direction of the wall or structure).
The minor principal stress would then be vertical, which aligns with the gravitational direction.
Thus, the typical stress state is:
- The major principal stress is horizontal.
- TheMinor principal stress is vertical.
Both A and B are correct.
The major principal stress is horizontal.
