Major Stress during Shear Failure by Rankine Analysis evaluator uses Major Principal Stress in Soil = Minor Principal Stress in Soil*(tan((Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil*180)/pi))^2+(2*Cohesion of Soil*tan((Angle of Inclination to Horizontal in Soil*180)/pi)) to evaluate the Major Principal Stress in Soil, The Major Stress during Shear Failure by Rankine Analysis is defined as the maximum value of normal stress acting on one of the principal planes where the value of shear stress is zero. Major Principal Stress in Soil is denoted by σmajor symbol.
