A bearing wall for a building is to be located close to a slope. The soil has a unit weight of 15.02 kN/m3 with a cohesion of 53.09 kPa. Angle of friction is zero. The footing is a horizontal distance of 0.61 m from the slope. The footing has its bottom at a depth of 1.22 m below the ground surface. Width of the continuous is 1.22 m. Use Nca = 4.8 and H = 6.18 Calculate the slope stability factor.
