A slope made of granular material contains saturated unit weight(7sat) of 18kN/m³, and 0=33°. If the factor of safety of 1.4 is needed against the slope failure, determine the safe angle of the slope (a) when the slope is dry or submerged without seepage, (b)If seepage occurs at and parallel to the surface of the slope. (c) If seepage occurs parallel to the slope with water table at a depth of 1.5m, what is the factor of safety available on a slip plane parallel to the ground at a depth of 4m. (Assume B=28°).
