saturated soil = diagonal line right?

what type of soil use the horizontal line on the mohr's circle?

:dunno:

 
so for sandy soil, the line on the mohr's circle will he horizontal and not go through the 0,0 axis?

many thanks!

 
The soil mech book from Budhu or Das will cover this topic very well. I think the horizontal line you are tlking about may be the equal shear stresses that are seen when running a series of UU tests.

 
I believe that a flat line indicates when you have an internal angle of friction equal to zero... pretty much what slap said.
