For a slope stabilization project, if the undrained shear strength (cu) of the native soil
and the factor of safety (FS) against a rotational slide were estimated as cu=25kPa and
FS=0.75, respectively, estimate the maximum spacing of the deep soil-lime mixing
columns with 50cm diameter to achieve a FS of 1.3 after mitigation if the shear strength
of the column is given as 200kPa.
Hint: Estimate the composite undrained shear strength valid after the mitigation as a
function of the replacement ratio and native soil's and column's shear strength.
For a slope stabilization project, if the
