Question No. 16
A long slope is formed in a soil with shear strength
parameters: c' = 0 and d' = 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 Yw = 10 kN/m³. The 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
