A cut slope was excavated in sand. The slope is shown in following attachment . To find the properties of the sand, representative samples were taken for the soil and tested in atriaxial apparatus. A consolidated drained triaxial test was conducted. The result is given below:Chamber pressure = 103 kN/m2Deviator stress at failure = 234.6 kN/m2We know the unit weight of the sand is 16 kN/m3.Use the ordinary method of slices (use 7 slices) and estimate the factor of safety against sliding forshown slip surface and comment on the calculated factor of safety.Please note that:1.

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?
