For the section below if you ignore any resistance due to the
bottom of the structure, which is the area between the left and
right walls, what is the factor of safety against sliding? Use
Caquot and Kerisel earth pressures with a reduction factor ratio
d/f = -0.7. Assume the passive resistance is reduced by a factor of
2. H1 = 27 ft and H2 = 9 ft. The effective friction angle of the
soil is 30 degrees.
