= A canal having side slopes 1:1 is proposed to be constructed in a cohesive soil to a depth of 10m below the ground surface. The soil properties are ou = 15º, Cu = 12 kPa, e = 1.00, Gs: 2.65. If Taylors stability number, Sn = 0.08 and if the canal flows full, the factor of safety with respect to cohesion failure against the failure of canal bank slopes will be most nearly equal to?
