A natural soil slope failed overnight after experiencing several days of rainfall. The rain continued even after the slope failure. The shape of the failure resembled a spoon (i.e., circular failure). You are the consulting engineer hired, please answer the following questions:

i. In order to confirm the stability of the slope prior to the rainfall induced failure (when it was stable), what Shear Strength parameters you will likely use in this calculation? Why?

ii. In order to explain the slope failure, i.e., for your slope stability model of the slope at failure, what Shear strength parameters will you likely use in this calculation? Why?

After several days of not eating, one's nitrogen excretion is higher than normal. What causes this high level of nitrogen excretion initially? After a week and a half of no food, one's nitrogen excretion falls. Why causes it to fall? After nitrogen excretion falls and all fat sources have been drained, the nitrogen excretion increases, once more. Why is that?

Soil collected from the site is found to have γ t = 18.5 k N / m 3 , w % = 8.6 % γt=18.5kN/m3,w%=8.6%, and G s = 2.67 Gs=2.67. After a heavy rainfall overnight, 10 % 10% increase in the degree of saturation S r Sr was observed. Determine:
