Question
Describe why does slopesslopes in cohesionless soils may exist or be made at
inclinations steeper than the soil’s angle of repose.
Expert Solution
Step 1
The slopes in cohesion less soils may exist or be made at inclinations steeper than the soil’s angle of repose could be understood by the stability of the slopes for cohesive and non cohesive soils as follows:
