Question
A canal is excavated to a depth of 4 m below
ground level in a soil having C = 15 kN/m²,
= 18°, Ysat = 20 kN/m³. The side slopes of
the canal is 45°. Take Yw = 10 kN/m³.
Taylor's stability number method is used to
determine the factor of safety of the slope.
The stability number (Sn) is given below.
For = 18°, S₁ = 0.075
For
9⁰, Sn = 0.125
If the canal is suddenly emptied, the factor
of safety of the slope is
