A structure has 39 ft of soil on the left side with the water table at the ground surface. On the right side there is 13 ft of water above soil. The height of the structure is the same on the left and the right. The unit weight of soils is 119 pcf. Neglecting resistance along the bottom of the structure, what is the factor of safety against sliding assuming full passive resistance? Assume that movement of the structure is from left to right. The soil friction angel is 30 degrees.

Civil Engineering A multistory building with a basement is to be constructed. The top 4 m consists of loose silt, below which dense sand layer is present up to a great depth. Ground water table is at the surface. The foundation consist of the basement slab of 6m width which will rest on the top of dense sand as shown in the figure. For dense sand, saturated unit weight = 20 kN/m³, and bearing capacity factors Na 40 and Ng = 45. For loose silt, saturated unit weight = 18 kN/m³, Ng = 15 and Ng = 20. Effective cohesion c ¢ is zero for both soils. Unit weight of water is 9.81 kN/m³. Neglect shape factor and depth factor. Average elastic modulus E and Poisson's ratio m of dense sand is 60 x 103 kN/m2 and 0.3 respectively. 17 Ground surface XXX Loose silt 4 m Basement Foundation slab 6 m Dense sand Loose silt The foundation slab is subjected to vertical downward stresses equal to net safe bearing capacity derive in the above question. Using influence factor If = 2.0, and neglecting embedment…

For the above soil profile, determine the shear strength at Point B.

A 10 m high sope of dry clay sol (unil weight = 20 N/m) with a slope angle of 45 and the circular slip suriace, is shown in the figure (not drawn to the scale). The weight of the slp wedge is denoted by W. The undrained unt cohosion (C) is 60 kPa. 10m Unit weight= 20 kN m C = 60 kPa 10m 448m, 45% The facter of safety of the slooe against sip failure. IS
