GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING Determine the height of a 1: 1 slope.Saturated clay Cu = 25 kn / m2Ysat = 18 kn / m3D = 1.2FS = 2.0
An unsupported slope of height 15 m is shown in the figure (not to scale), in which the slope face makes an angle 50° with the horizontal. The slope material comprises purely cohesive soil having undrained cohesion 75 kPa. A trial slip circle KLM with a radius 25 m, passes through the crest and toe of the slope and it subtends an angle 60° at its centre O. The weight of the active soil mass (W, bounded by KLMN) is 2500 kN/m, which is acting at a horizontal distance of 10 m from toe of the slope. Consider the water table to be present at a very large depth from the ground surface.
