A proposed residential development of a single tower is to be built on a sloping site as shown in Figure 1. The site has a (W1m x 25m wide building zone. A level platform has to be created by building a permanent retaining structure outside the building zone but within the (W2m x (W2m wide site boundary. A temporary slope, which may extend outside the site boundary, has to be formed in advance for construction of the retaining structure. ---...

1. Using the concepts covered in earth pressure theories (not Taylor's chart), the critical depth of vertical cut in a saturated cohesive soil with c = 15.5kPa and y = 18 kN/m3 will be? a) 0.86 m c) 6.88 m b) 3.44 m d) 1.72 m condition: 2. The upstream and downstream slopes of an earth dam is critical for the a) reservoir partial pool c) steady seepage b) sudden drawdown d) earthquake 3. In the simplified Bishop's method of...

Question 6 It is required to construct a 4 m deep underground carpark in the heart of the city of Melbourne without disturbing the surrounding area. The required excavation for the proposed carpark and also the adjacent ground condition are shown in Figure 6.1. As can be seen from the figure, the adjacent ground consists of a 2 m deep clay deposit, resting on a 2 m thick sand deposit, where stable soil could be found below the sand deposit...
