Course: Soil mechanics
Theme: Fellenius Method
There is a soil with the following characteristics: cohesion of 0.4 kg / cm2, friction angle 33 ° and dry density of 1.7 gr / cm3 and when saturated, effective cohesion of 0.2 kg / cm2, effective friction angle of 24 °. and a saturated density of 2.2 gr / cm3. The slope under evaluation has a 38 ° inclination, the rocky layer is 11 meters away, finding the stability of the slope in a dry and saturated condition, in addition to evaluating the critical height.

Solutions

Expert Solution

FOS is determined by dividing the resisting force to the destabilizing force. If FOS >1 then slope is stable otherwise not. Also critical height is determined by taking FOS =1.

Assessment 9.0: Soil Mechanics Produce a 300 word report which identifies the cause and effect of slips in embankments and cuttings and the affect it might have on safety of the line. The report should include the theory behind soil mechanics – soil saturation, subsidence, inappropriate mineral extraction, overloading of embankment by neighbouring construction and subterranean fires. Include a range of potential solutions to embankment stability risks. Would prefer in Text as don't understand the handwriting on here.
