c) A trench needs to be constructed at a certain saturated clay underlain by a layer of sand as shown in Figure BELOW. In order to maintain the stability of the saturated clay, Y ut - 17.5 kN/m 8 m 3.4 m Yu= 15 kN/m A Saturated elay 3 Sand (i) Design the appropriate height of the cut for the trench. (ii) Based on the height of the cut determined from Q6(c), if water is present in the trench determine the height of the water that needs to be controlled so that the stability of the saturated clay is not lost.
