Question 5An earth dam is proposed for a site consisting of a homogeneous stiff clay, as shown in the Fig. below. You, the geotechnical engineer, are required to specify soil strength tests to determine the stability of the dam. One of the critical situations is the possible failure of the dam by a rotational slip plane in the stiff clay. What laboratory strength tests would you specify and why?Question 5 An earth dam is proposed for a site consisting of a homogeneous stiff clay, as shown in the Fig. below.
