Failure : load or stress increased until maximum stress the material can sustain or deformations become unacceptably large STRENGHT : Shear strength for soils
Failure Theories
CVE 661 Advanced Soil Mechanics
STRESS-STRAIN RELATIONSHIPS
STRESS-STRAIN RELATIONSHIPS
-up to the proportional limit or yield point is lineariy elastic -as long as the applied stress is below the yield point -the material will return to its original shape when the stress is released -Time independence : if not visco-elastic -if sufficient stress is applied plastic or to yield plastically
Brittle :very little strain as the stress increases : suddenly collapses

STRESS-STRAIN RELATIONSHIPS
More realistic : complex
STRESS-STRAIN RELATIONSHIPS
More realistic : complex
After yield : stiffer
FAILURE CRITERIA
At what point on the stress-strain curve do we have failure?
Brittle materials : obvious Work-softening materials : peak Work-hardening materials : arbitrary
Many ways to define failure
15-20% strain
mobilized shear resistance on the potential failure plane factor of safety (F .S.) = ff (available)/ f(applied)
