1. There is an infinite slope located in Arequipa with an inclination of 34 ° and the rocky substrate is 17 meters deep. Soil in the dry state has the following characteristics: density = 1.8 g / cm3, cohesion = 0.65 kg / cm2, internal friction angle = 31 °; and in the submerged state: saturated density = 2.3 g / cm3, effective cohesion = 0.25 kg / cm2, effective internal friction angle = 27 °.
a) Find the stability of the slope in dry condition.
b) Find the stability of the slope in saturated condition.
c) If an earthquake occurs at the site, what will be the safety factor for the dry slope with earthquake?
