A level site underlain by fully saturated clays is cut over a few days as shown in the figure below. The water table is located at the ground surface across the site. Determine the resisting moment in kN.m for the circular slip surface depicted in the Figure below shortly after excavation. Consider the soil wedge above the circular slip surface as a single free body, whose plane area is equal to 100 m2 and the centre of gravity of the soil wedge is given at Point C.
