A trench was cut in a clay slope as shown in the figure. When the trench reached a depth of 3 m, the top portion of the clay suddenly failed. On investigating, the failure was observed to be a slip plane approximately parallel to the original slope. Clay Y = 17.5 kN/m² 3m 36° The undrained shear strength (in kPa) of the clay will be.

For an earthquake of magnitude M=7.0 and depth 25 km, calculate the peak ground acceleration at a site 50 km from the epicentre using the attenuation relationships for Europe, Japan, and western North America (randomly- oriented horizontal components). The fault mechanism is normal and the seismic waves travel through a thick layer of rock (v=780 m/sec). Compare the results with the prediction of the world-wide attenuation relationship. Plot the curve of the above attenuation relationships for M=7 and comment on the plots.
