Stability Analysis of Well Foundations | Soil Engineering

When the worst possible combination of forces is identified, the resultant of these forces is determined and its components along the three coordinate axes are determined, that is, W is the component of the resultant in the vertical direction, P is the component of the resultant across the pier in the horizontal direction, and Q is the component of the [...]

Stability Analysis of Earth Slopes | Soil

Figure 17.3 shows an infinite slope with a failure surface at depth z, parallel to the slope. Consider a unit length perpendicular to the slope. Consider a soil element ABCD of width "b" along the slope. So the volume of the element will be – V = zb cos β.1 = zb cos β and the weight of the slice, [...]
