Civil Engineering > GATE 2024 SET-1 > Slope Stability
An infinite slope is made up of cohesionless soil with seepage parallel to and up to the sloping surface. The angle of slope is 30o with respect to horizontal ground surface. The unit weights of the saturated soil and water are 20 kN/m3 and 10 kN/m3, respectively.
The minimum angle of shearing resistance of the soil (in degrees) for the critically stable condition of the slope is _______. (rounded off to the nearest integer).

Correct : 21
