- A cut slope was excavated in sand. The slope is shown in following attachment . To find the properties of the sand, representative samples were taken for the soil and tested in atriaxial apparatus. A consolidated drained triaxial test was conducted. The result is given below:Chamber pressure = 103 kN/m2Deviator stress at failure = 234.6 kN/m2We know the unit weight of the sand is 16 kN/m3.Use the ordinary method of slices (use 7 slices) and estimate the factor of safety against sliding forshown slip surface and comment on the calculated factor of safety.Please note that:1. The figure is not in scale. You may resketch it in scale and calculate the factor of safety2. The slip surface is circular and passes through the toe of the embankmentarrow_forwardA 15 cm diameter borehole has been drilled through a fine sand deposit to a depth of 7 m. At this depth, the SPT,using a US safety hammer and a standard SPT sampler, gave Nfield = 23. Boring then continued to greater depths,encountering water table at a depth of 11 m. Compute N'60, Ø', and Dr at the test location, and use the data toestimate the denseness of the sand.arrow_forwardEx1: A footing is uniformly loaded with q = 100 kN/m² as shown in the figure.

The 12 ft layer of sand will be removed, so that the top of the 30 ft normally consolidated clay layer will be exposed (Assume that changes in GWT do not affect γt of clay). a. Assume that the water-table location remains the same during excavation. Compute the σ, σ′v, and u values at the middle of the clay layer before and after the excavation b. Assuming 1-D conditions, compute how much the clay layer will deform due to this excavation, in inches. Specify whether this is settlement or heavearrow_forward
