Home Work: Q1: An embarkment is constructed for an earth dam of 25 m high at a slope of 3:1. The properties of the soil used for the construction are: c = 38 kN/m², o' = 30°, and Y-18 kN/m³. The estimated pore pressure ratio r₂ =0.5. 1- Determine the factor of safety by Bishop and Morgenstern method. 2- Estimate the factor of safety for o'=20° by Bishop and Morgenstern method. All the other data remain the same. 3- Estimate the factor of safety for a slope of 2:1 by Bishop and Morgenstern method with all the other data remain the same.
