Q.1. Refer to the infinite slope shown in Figure 1. Given: β = 19 ͦ,
ɣ = 20 kN/m3
, Ø = 33 ͦ,
and c’ = 47 kN/m2
. Find the height, H, such that a factor of safety, Fs = 3.1 is maintained
against sliding along the soil-rock interface.
For the infinite slope shown in Figure 15.46, determine the height, H, for critical equilibrium. Given: β = 27°, γ = 19.5 kN/m3, ϕ′ = 18°, and c′ = 35.9 kN/m3.
Figure 2 shows a slope with an inclination of : β = 58 ͦ. If AC represents a trial failure plane inclined at an angle θ = 32 ͦ with the horizontal, determine the factor of safety against sliding for the wedge ABC. Given: H = 6 m; ɣ = 19 kN/m3, Ø =21 ͦ, and c’= 38 kN/m2
