    If data from several tests, carried out on different samples upto failure is available, a series of Mohr circles can be plotted. It is convenient to show only the upper half of the Mohr circle. A line tangential to the Mohr circles can be drawn, and is called the Mohr-Coulomb failure envelope. If the stress condition for any other soil sample is represented by a Mohr circle that lies below the failure envelope, every plane within the sample experiences a shear stress which is smaller than the shear strength of the sample. Thus, the point of tangency of the envelope to the Mohr circle at failure gives a clue to the determination of the inclination of the failure plane. The orientation of the failure plane can be finally determined by the pole method. Please see the attached figure

    The Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion can be written as the equation for the line that represents the failure envelope. Please find the equation in attachment.

    The envelope of a series of Mohr circles representing stress conditions at failure for a given material. According to Mohr's rupture hypotheses, a rupture envelope is the locus of points, the coordinates of which represent the combination of normal and shearing stresses that will cause a given material to fail. Use to determine the rock strength. Equation is T= sigma tan(phi) + c
