Civil Engineering > GATE 2023 SET-1 > Slope Stability
A soil having the average properties, bulk unit weight = 19 kN/m3; angle of internal friction = 25° and cohesion = 15 kPa, is being formed on a rock slope existing at an inclination of 35° with the horizontal. The critical height (in m) of the soil formation up to which it would be stable without any failure is _______ (round off to one decimal place).
[Assume the soil is being formed parallel to the rock bedding plane and there is no groundwater effect.]
[Assume the soil is being formed parallel to the rock bedding plane and there is no groundwater effect.]
