The 8 pages that link to Mohr–Coulomb theory, each with the reason it gives.

• Shear stressRelated: It predicts when soils and rocks will fail under combined stresses.

• Effective stressRelated: Its strength relation uses effective normal stress for many saturated soils.

• Slope stabilityRelated: It provides a common model for estimating the strength of soil and rock in slope calculations.

• Soil mechanicsRelated: It provides a widely used approximation for soil failure under different stress states.

• Shear strengthRelated: It models how confinement and friction change the shear stress at failure.

• Pore pressureRelated: Rising pore pressure lowers effective normal stress and can bring a fault to failure.

• Rock mechanicsRelated: It estimates when stressed rock or discontinuities will begin to shear.

• GeomechanicsRelated: It estimates when frictional soil or rock will begin to shear.
