Question 23
CENAT1 markNeeds review
A fully submerged infinite sand slope has an inclination of 30° with the horizontal. The saturated unit weight and effective angle of internal friction of sand are 18 kN/m³ and 38°, respectively. The unit weight of water is 10 kN/m³. Assume that the seepage is parallel to the slope. Against shear failure of the slope, the factor of safety (round off to two decimal places) is ________.
