It is proposed to develop bench terraces in an area having land slope of 10%. If the vertical interval between the bench terraces is 2.5 m and the batter slope is 100%, working width (in m) and the area lost for cultivation (in percent), respectively will be
A shear annulus with inner and outer diameters of 240 mm and 300 mm is used to measure soil shear strength. The torque at failure is 50 N·m. Shear strength of soil in kPa is (Take $\pi = 3.14$)
A cohesionless soil forms a natural infinite slope at \(25^\circ\). If the effective friction angle is \(30^\circ\), determine the factor of safety (round off to 2 decimals).
