Question
For two infinite slopes (one in dry condition and
other in submerged condition) in a sand deposit
having the angle of shearing resis-tance 30°, factor
of safety was determined as 1.5 (for both slopes)
The slope angles would have been
(a) 21.05° for dry slope and 21.05° for submerged
slope
(b) 19.47° for dry slope and 18.40° for submerged
slope
(c) 18.40° for dry slope and 21.05° for submerged
slope
(d) 22.60° for dry slope and 19.47° for submerged
slope
