A slope is shown in the figure below. If AC represents a trial failure plane, determine the factor of safety against sliding for the wedge ABC. Given: β= 570 , ϒ = 17.5 kN/m3 , φ’ = 13.50 , and c’ =27 kN/m2Please use the Culmann’s method
B. Briefly Comment on how to analyze a slope and determine the factor of safety against overturning.
The figure below shows a slope with an inclination of B = 56°. If AC represents a trial failure plane inclined at an angle 0 = 33° with the horizontal, determine the factor of safety against sliding
for the wedge ABC. Given H = 8.4 m; y = 20 kN/m³: ' = 21°; and c' = 36 kN/m?.
