A triaxial state of principal stress acts on the faces of a unit cube of soil. Show that these stresses will not produce a volume change if ν = 0.5. Assume soil is a linearly elastic isotropic material. If ν ≠0.5, show that the condition necessary for the volume to remain unchanged is for σ1+ σ2 + σ3 = 0.
