3. A cut slope is to made in a soil having a unit weight of 16.5 kN/m³, a cohesion of 28.8 kPa and an angle of friction of 20°. The side of the cut slope will make an angle of 50° with the horizontal. If the factor of safety of the cut is 2.5 1.Compute the angle of friction of friction that develops along the potential failure surface. 2.Compute the depth of the cut slope. 3.Compute the stability number.

b) Dewatering is a term to describe the removal of groundwater or surface water from for example a construction site. In construction the water is pumped from wells or sumps to temporarily lower the groundwater levels, to allow excavation in dry and stable conditions below natural groundwater level. Discuss the following types of dewatering methods normally employed during construction of a building project: I. Open sumps and ditches II. Well point systems III. Deep well drainage
