Soil mostly fails when the internal stress reaches its shear strength. It can be assumed for granular and friction soils that the failure plane is a straight line (Fig. 1). For classic methods like Rankind and Coulomb, this assumption can be applied to cohesive soils as well with including cohesion in the calculation.
