What factors should be considered in assessing the stability of cut slopes?
What factors should be considered in assessing the stability of cut slopes?
- Geological, hydrological, and external pressures (correct)
- Material type and standard tables
- Overall judgment and slope stability risk analysis
- Height, berms, and retaining structures
What is the purpose of establishing a suitable factor of safety for the intended works?
What is the purpose of establishing a suitable factor of safety for the intended works?
- To estimate potential 'safe' cut slopes
- To ensure stability by considering geological and hydrological factors
- To account for the effect of upsetting the natural balance of the ground (correct)
- To guide the analysis of height, berms, and retaining structures
What are the standard tables used for in the context of cut slopes?
What are the standard tables used for in the context of cut slopes?
- To provide an initial indication of suitable slopes for different material types
- To analyze geological and hydrological factors
- As a guide only for estimating potential 'safe' cut slopes (correct)
- To determine the design slope, height, berms, and retaining structures
