An excavation is rapidly made on site as depicted in the Figure below. The soil wedge above the critical slip surface is divided into thirteen slices. Based on the ordinary method of slices, calculate the ratio (R/S) between the Resisting Force (R) and the Driving Force (S) for slice #3, shortly after the excavation is completed. (Acceptable tolerance = 4%). The geometry of slice #3 and the soil properties are provided in the tables below. The height of water at the middle of the slice is hw = 3.0 m. Note that the total weight of the slice is equal to the weight of the saturated soil below the water table plus the weight of the moist soil above the water table. Hint: the weight of slice #3 is 495 kN

A 3 m deep excavation will be supported by a cantilever sheet pile. The foundation soil is dense sand, but it is assumed that the pile tip penetrates impermeable soil so hydrostatic pore pressure can be used. A surcharge of 10kPa is applied at the ground level. The water table is at the ground surface and dredge line as shown. Use Yw=10kN/m³ for your calculations. a) Using a factor of safety of 2.0 for Kp, check if D'=5m is safe or not (no need to iterate for other D'). b) Calculate the maximum bending moment.

GWT is at the same height on both sides, and assume yw 10kN/m³. Based on the log spiral solutions, the K₂ for the loose sand is 0.3 while the Ka and Kp for the dense sand are 0.2 and 13.125, respectively. a) For a factor of safety of 2 on the passive resistance, determine the required depth of penetration depth, D.
