the final mark out of ten (10)1 ‘The embankment shown below is made up from a soil with @ = 20°, ¢ = 20 KN/mn? and
{12193 KN». Detemine the factor of efty fr the slp ee shown using four
ices (Go mars)2 Acting in a saturated clay i inclined ata slope of I vertical to 1.5 horizontal and has
4 vertial height of 10m, the bulk unit weight of the soils 18.5 KN/ar and its
undrained cohesion is 40 KN/m (9, ~0)- Determine the factors of safety against
immediate shear filure along the slip cree shown in the figure below
Y% = 9.68 m
2, = 40m
(@) Ignoring the tension erack, given that
‘Area of slip mass A= 102.1 m?
