Determining Deviatoric Stress at Active & Passive Failure State of Soil (Compression & Tension)
[GEO-2025-0131]
We are pleased to present the Deviatoric Stress at Active and Passive Failure States spreadsheet pack, part of the Geotechnical Excel Spreadsheets (2025-1) collection. This set of 4 powerful spreadsheets enables soil mechanics professionals, students, and geotechnical engineers to calculate deviatoric stress at the active and passive failure states of soil under compression and tension conditions.
The pack also includes tools to calculate failure surfaces and provides a comprehensive solution for analyzing soil behavior under different failure conditions, making it essential for foundation design and soil stability analysis.
What’s Included in the 4 Spreadsheets?
- Problem1: Determining Deviatoric Stress at Active Failure State of Soil – Calculate deviatoric stress for the active failure state of soil under compression.
- Problem2: Determining Deviatoric Stress at Passive Failure State of Soil – Calculate deviatoric stress for the passive failure state of soil under tension.
- Solution: Determining Deviatoric Stress at Soil Failure – Comprehensive solution for calculating deviatoric stress at active and passive failure states of soil.
- Failure Surface: Determining Failure Surface – Analyze and calculate the failure surface for soil under both compression and tension.
Applications in Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering:
