The section of a cutting, 14m deep, slope 1% horizontal to 1 vertical is as shown in Figure Q5.For a depth of 5m below the surface, the soil has the

following properties: unit weight = 17kNm, øtrit = 32°. Below this, the soil properties are unit weight = 18 kNm3 øcrit = 34°. For the given trial slip surface, find the factor of safety of the slope under conditions of steady seepage using Fellenius method.
