Question: A 1 . 0 m m thick LLDPE geomembrane with a mobilized allowable stress of 7 , 0 0 0 kPa is installed on a

A 1.0mm thick LLDPE geomembrane with a mobilized allowable stress of 7,000kPa is installed on a 3(horizontal) to 1(vertical) slope as shown in Figure 1. The 300mm(=dCS) thick cover soil is of unit weight of 16.5kNm3. The friction angle between the geomembrane and the soil is 30.
(a) Determine the side slope angle .
