What is the maximum safe height of the embankment for Examples 13.4 and 13.8? Plot a graph of factor of safety versus height of the embankment

Reference: Example 13.4

Given: A long embankment shown in Fig. Ex. 13.4a is to be constructed rapidly on a deposit of soft organic silty clay in northern Sweden. The soil profile and properties are also shown in Fig. Ex. 13.4a. As . Also assume A before failure is about 0.35; at failure, (after Holtz and Holm, 1979 Required: Determine the , and ESP for a typical element 5 m below the centerline of the embankment.

Reference: Example 13.8

Given:The embankment of Example 13.4.Triaxial compression tests indicate and =7KPa.

Required:Construct the line and determine whether the embankment will be stable.
