13.20 The slope shown in Figure 13.53 has recently failed. A geotechnical investigation indicates the failure surface was as shown. Assuming the failure occurred while undrained conditions prevailed in the slope, back-calculate the value of su. Use the Swedish slip circle method with the cross-section that existed immediately before it failed. Use y = 119 lb/ft³.

Consider a slope given below with 10 slices, which has a circular failure surface. Each slice has 5 meters wide, and the weight of each slice was estimated on the basis of average height and a unit weight of soil ? = 16 kN/m3. The shear strength of the soil is assumed to be ? = 20 kPa and ? = 20°. The pertinent data for these ten slices is given in the table below. a) Determine the factor of safety using Janbu’s simplified method by assuming the initial ?? = ?. ?. b) Discuss how the factor of safety (stability of the Slope) will change due to the rainfall. You start to consider what environmental conditions will change first.

Q5 a) The discontinuity characteristic mostly dominates failure in the rock mass. Thus, the selection of stabilisation must be made based on the mode of instability. Answer the following question: a) Figure Q5(a) shows two types of failure modes in rock; rockfall and wedge failure. State the rock mass characteristic that contributes to these failures and propose a suitable stabilisation measure for both cases? UTM ITIVA M M &UTM&UTM (ii) B) It is a common practice to install shotcrete and wire mesh together. For an unstable slope face, why such practice is highly recommended. What is the purpose of wire mesh in shotcrete installation?
