Question
7. A long slope is formed in a soil with shear strength
parameters: c' = 0 and '= 34°. A firm stratum
lies below the slope and it is assumed that the
water table may occasionally rise to the surface,
with seepage taking place parallel to the slope.
Use Ysat
= 18 kN/m³ and y = 10 kN/m³. The
Yw
maximum slope angle (in degrees) to ensure a
factor of safety of 1.5, assuming a potential failure
surface parallel to the slope, would be
