. A long natural slope in fissured overconsolidated clay is inclined to the horizontal with an angle =15 o . The saturated unit weight of clay is 18 kN/m3 . The water table is at the surface and the seepage is roughly parallel to the slope. A slip has developed on a plane parallel to the surface at the depth of 4.0 m. Find the factor of safety along the slip plane, for the following two cases: a. Peak shear...

A horizontal beam AB is pin-supported at the end A and carries a uniformly distributed load with intensity 20 kN/m and a concentrated load F as shown in the figure. The beam is also supported at C by a pinned-end column: the column is restrained laterally at mid-height in the plane of the figure but it is free to deflect perpendicular to the plane of the figure. Assume the column may buckle in any direction. The column is a solid...
