What are different theories of failure?
What are different theories of failure?
Theories of failure
- Maximum principal stress theory (Rankine’s theory)
- Maximum shear stress theory (Coulomb, Tresca and Guest’s theory)
- Distortion energy theory (Huber von Mises and Hencky’s theory)
- Maximum strain theory (St. Venant’s theory)
- Maximum total strain energy theory (Haigh’s theory)
What is Tresca theory of failure?
The maximum shear stress criterion, also known as Tresca yield criterion, is based on the Maximum Shear stress theory. This theory predicts failure of a material to occur when the absolute maximum shear stress (τmax ) reaches the stress that causes the material to yield in a simple tension test.
What are the assumptions of Rankine’s theory?
Assumptions of Rankine’s theory: The soil is homogeneous and isotropic, which means c, φ and γ have the same values everywhere, and they have the same values in all directions at every point (i.e., the strength on a vertical plane is the same as that on a horizontal plane).
What are the formula for Rankine’s theory?
Vertical distance of total active earth pressure above the base of the wall = y̅. For a triangular pressure distribution, we know that y̅ = (H/3) above the base of the wall. The failure plane makes an angle of α = 45 + (ɸ/2) with the major principal plane.
What are the 5 theories of failure?
There are five theories of failure which one is considered to be best and why?
- Shear strain energy theory.
- Total strain energy theory.
- Maximum shear stress theory.
- Maximum normal strain theory.
- Maximum principal stress theory?
What is elastic failure theory?
This theory states that the failure occurs when the maximum shear strain energy component for the complex state of stress system is equal to that at the yield point in the tensile test.
What is the difference between von Mises and Tresca?
The main interpretation of the Mises criterion is that it represents a critical value of the distortional energy stored in the isotropic material while the Tresca criterion is that of a critical value of the maximum shear stress in the isotropic material.
What is the difference between Rankine and Coulomb?

---|---|
We can find both active and passive earth pressure. | It is not suitable for passive stage. |
This is related to plastic equilibrium | This is related to elastic equilibrium. |
Which assumption is true for the Rankine earth pressure?
Explanation: According to the assumption of Rankine’s theory, the soil mass is semi-infinite, homogeneous, dry and cohesion less.
What are differences between Rankine’s theory and Coulomb’s wedge theory?
What is the Rankine’s formula to determine the ultimate bearing capacity of soil?
The Rankine’s formula q γ [ 1 − sin ϕ 1 + sin is used to calculate.
