Please solve a and b i need urgently. 1) A cross section of a canal is shown in Figure .The center of rotation of the sliding mass is at coordinates x = 113 m and y = 133 m. The rock surface is tangent to the slip plane. Assume the soil above the groundwater level is saturated. Use Bishop’s method. The properties of the soil are as follows along with the image. a) Determine the factor of safety for the existing condition level in the canal. b) Determine the factor of safety for a rapid drawdown of the water level in the canal.
