Problem 1) Weathered residual soil and the underlying bedrock layer have a slope of ß = 25 degrees. The soil layer has a vertical height of 12 feet, a moist unit weight of 115 pcf and a saturated unit weight of 125 pcf. The water table is 4 feet above the bedrock. 1. Determine the friction angle at failure with no cohesion. 2. Determine the friction angle with cohesion equal to 200 psf. H Soil B Bedrock Hw
