CE EN 544 – BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY UTEXAS Problem Set #1
1. Simple Embankment • Variations: • Distributed load on top of slope. q = 750 psf • Tension crack. Depth = 3 ft • Submerged by 10 ft depth of water (use distributed load)
3. Multiple Materials • Variations: • Change the cohesion of the lower material to see the effect on the location of the critical circle (slope circle vs. deep circle)
