Question: F = c ' L a + t a n ' i ? ( W i c o s i - u i l i

F=c'La+tan'i?(Wicosi-uili)i?Wisini
For the given failure surface as shonw in Figure Q-2, determone whether the slope is stable
based on Fellenius Method of Slice (expression of Factor of Safety, pre-EC7 is given above).
The characteristic unit weight of the soils is taken as 21kNm3, and the characteristic shear
strength parameters are c'=8kPa, and '=32.
Design according to EC7.
Hint-a. You can assumed 7-8 vertical slices of 4m width each.
b. You may also want to setup a TABLE with columns of various terms in the given
expression to aid in the computation. The examples of the table is as follow:
F = c ' L a + t a n ' i ? ( W i c o s i - u i l i
