Question
Slope stability of a purely frictional soil depens on -
Options
1
Slope angle
Correct Answer
2
factor of safety
Correct Answer
3
frictional resistace
Correct Answer
4
none of these
Correct Answer
Explanation
For purely frictional soil (cohesionless, c=0), stability depends primarily on the slope angle relative to the angle of internal friction. If slope < friction angle, it is stable.
