Question: Given cover soil thickness H c s = 3 . 0 f t , and cover soil unit weight s = 1 2 0 l

Given cover soil thickness Hcs=3.0ft, and cover soil unit weight s=120lbft3. A local subsidence occurs which is estimated to be 1.0ft depth by 3.0ft radius. The geomembrane is 40mils thick and has a allow=1000lbin2. Determine the factor of safety of the geomembrane against the mobilized tensile stresses.
