- A cut slope was excavated in a saturated clay. The slope made an angle of 39.55 degree with the horizontal. Slope failure occurred when the cut reached a depth of 6 m. Previous soil explorations showed that a rock layer was located at a depth of 10 m below the ground surface. Assuming an undrained condition and γsat = 18 kN/m3, Analyze the following. a. undrained cohesion of the clay.b. nature of the critical circle?c.

The difference in the elevation between the initial and end point was 2.25 m. If the measurement was undertaken with a temperature of 20°C and the tape was supported at both ends with an applied pull of 50 N. The cross-sectional area of the tape is 5.25 mm^2 and E=200GPa.
