‘The center of the slip circle is on the vertical through A and passes through A and B. The shell is
freely draining, The soil properties are
Shell p= 32° C=O, ¥ aey=20kNim*
Core — p= 20° C=40 KNim? y sat = 20.5 kN/m? y sat= 10.5 KN/m’,
ore pressures are to be accounted for by selecting appropriate unit weights of the soil.
