Question 1
What will be the maximum depth(m) of excavation possible with a vertical face in a clay soil which has and . (Assume Sn = 0.230 and FOS = 1)
Question 2
A granular soil has a saturated unit weight of 20 kN/m3 and an effective angle of shearing resistance of 30°. The unit weight of water is 9.81 kN/m3. A slope is to be made on this soil deposit in which the seepage occurs parallel to the slope up to the free surface. Under this seepage condition for a factor of safety of 1.5, the safe slope angle (in degree, round off to 1 decimal place) would be ____
Question 3
List-I below gives the possible types of failure for a finite soil slope and List-II gives the reasons for these different types of failure. Match the items in List-I with the items in List-II
Question 4
A 45 ° slope as shown in figure has been excavated to a depth of 6 m in a saturated clay having the following properties:
Determine the factor of safety.
[Take area of wedge = 39 m2]
Determine the factor of safety.
[Take area of wedge = 39 m2]
Question 5
For two infinite slopes (one in dry condition and other in submerged condition) in a sand deposit having the angle of shearing resistance 30 °, factor of safety was determined as 1.5 (for both slopes). The slope angles would have been
Question 6
The soil profile above the rock surface for a 30 ° infinite is shown in the figure below, where cu is undrained shear strength and γt is total weight of the soil. The depth at which the slip occurs is
