Hi,
I wondered if a drained cohesion increased from 20 kN/m2 to 25 kN/m2 and I know that the lyfactor of safety on increases by a fraction, so what effect does that have on slope stability? How does this affect the geotechnical design?
Regards
Which loading case:
(a)After construction of the canal but prior to filling with water. In this case there is no water table present in the embankment.
b). When the canal is full of water and some steady seepage into the embankment is established, giving the water table shown in Figure 1.
c)...
