A highway embankment is to be constructed of height 10m over a soft clay deposit of 10m thick overlying firm dense sand. The soft clay has an undrained cohesion of 37.5kN/m² and unit weight of y = 17.5kN/m³. It is decided to adopt stone column technique to improve the load carrying capacity of soft clay deposit. If a equilateral pattern of stone column is adopted with a c/c spacing of 1.2m and the diameter as 0.6m, Estimate the load carrying capacity of stone column as per IS15284 (Part 1): 2003. Assume the stone column as an end bearing long column of length 10m.
Stability of slopes.
An embankment is to be constructed with granular soil (bulk unit weight 20 kN/m³) on a saturated clayey silt deposit (undrained shear strength = 25 kPa). Assuming undrained general shear failure and bearing capacity factor of 5.7, the maximum height (in m) of the embankment at the point of failure is =

Please solve a and b i need urgently. 1) A cross section of a canal is shown in Figure .The center of rotation of the sliding mass is at coordinates x = 113 m and y = 133 m. The rock surface is tangent to the slip plane. Assume the soil above the groundwater level is saturated. Use Bishop’s method. The properties of the soil are as follows along with the image. a) Determine the factor of safety for the existing condition level in the canal. b) Determine the factor of safety for a rapid drawdown of the water level in the canal.
