Question 20 (1) - Failure mechanisms Which of these statement(s) is/are correct? 1. A slope instability mechanism is usually triggered by a decrease in the applied load on the crest of the embankment. 2. The pore water pressure does not influence the initiation of a slope instability mechanism. 3. The factor of safety does not depend to a large extent on the inclination of the slope. a) 1 and 2 are correct, 3 is wrong b) 1 is correct, 2 and 3 are wrong c) 2 is correct, 1 and 3 are wrong d) all 3 are wrong
