Problem 4-22 Consider the soil mass of Fig. 4-24(c), retained in place by a semi-infinite, dimensionless plate. Consider the soil to reach a Rankine state with a dilatancy angle of 8°. If the plate moves in the direction away from the soil, resulting in an extension corresponding to a lateral strain increment of −0.5%, what is the vertical strain in the retained soil mass? What is the direction of the slip plane through the soil mass?
