As a consultant engineer, you are given a slope design task. A cut slope was excavated in a saturated clay with a slope angle, β=35∘, with the horizontal. Previous soil explorations showed that a rock layer was located at a depth of 15 m below the ground surface. Assuming an undrained condition and γ= 18.7kN/m3 and the undrained cohesive value, cu=75kN/m2: Assume D= 1.5. The task is given as follow;
