7) A straight section of a proposed road having a formation width of 10.00 m is to be constructed as a cutting having side slopes of 1 in 2. A cross-section is to be taken at chainage 1225 m, where the depth of dig to the proposed formation level is to be 4.82 m. At this crosssection, the transverse slope at right angles to the proposed centre line falls from left to right but changes at the proposed centre line from a fall of 1 in 11 to a fall of 1 in 17. Calculate the area of cut required at this cross-section.
For the slope given below, consider the slip surface divided into thirteen slices. Based on the ordinary method of slices, calculate the Resisting Force in kN for slice #3 for long term conditions. (Acceptable tolerance = 4%). The geometry of slice #3 and the soil properties are provided in the tables below. The height of water at the middle of the slice is hw = 3.0 m hint:Given that the soil is partially saturated in Slice#3, the total weight of the slice (W) should be calculated by summing up the weight of the area that is below the water table (saturated soil) and the weight of the area located above the water table (moist soil).
