A trench is to be excavated in a clay soil with y at = 20 kN/m² and s, = 15 kPa. (a) Determine the theoretical maximum depth of the trench without lateral support. (b) It was decided to use a bentonite slurry of unit weight y, to fill the trench as excavation proceeds. Show that the theoretical maximum depth of the trench is H, = unit weight of the soil and s, is the undrained shear strength. (c) How much deeper can the trench be excavated by using a bentonite slurry of y; = 11 kN/m?? - where y a is the saturated Yrat - Yf
