MOHR-COULOMB FAILURE CRITERIA
The relationship between normal and shear stress on the failure
plane σ1
τ α f (σ )
τ f = c + σ tan φ
Graphical

τf = shear strength
c = cohesion
σ = normal stress

MOHR-COULOMB FAILURE CRITERIA
Shear strength consists of ____
two components:
• Cohesive and Frictional
• c and φ are measures of
shear strength.
τ • Higher the values,
higher the shear strength
