Question
Loose, granular soil remains stable under internal friction alone (no cohesion) up to its: failure envelope O stability gradient shear strength O angle of friction or repose O fall slope
Transcribed Image Text:Loose, granular soil remains stable under internal friction alone (no cohesion) up to its: failure envelope O stability gradient shear strength O angle of friction or repose O fall slope
What is the main reason so many landslides occur during and shortly after periods of heavy rainfall? O groundwater saturation causes slopes to be oversteepened O water saturation can cause small earthquakes which trigger landslides water in a slope increases driving forces, and saturation causes buoyancy that reduces resisting forces O the additional water increases resisting forces O plants have decreased evapotranspiration after rainfall
