(10 points) The major and minor principal stresses measured in a soil element are equal to 200 and 100 kPa, respectively. The soil is a dry sand with an internal friction angle of 32 degrees and a cohesion intercept of zero, when the soil will be loaded, additional compressive stress increments of ơs and ơs/4 will be superimposed on σι and σ, respectively.
