Name and Surrill excavated slope shown below immediately after the slope is excavated. The Q5 (20 POINTS)- a) Compute the factor of safety for the submerged. From Unconsolidated-Undrained (UU) triaxial test (total stresses) From Consolidated-Undrained (CU) triaxial test with pore water pressure following properties were determined for the clay: c# 32 kPa, = 0° measurements (effective stresses): c'= 4.8 kPa, o' =32° The total unit weight of soil is 17.6 kN/m³ b) Do you think that the factor of safety calculated in Part a) is the minimum factor of safety that the slope will ever have if the slope remains submerged? Assume that the total unit weight does not change significantly over time ( Show any calculations to support your answer which one is the minimum? =9.81 kN/m³). Water 10 Clay 5 1 2 Rock
