Questions and Answers

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?

  • 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?

  • 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
  • Who should analyze the design slope, height, berms, and retaining structures for cut slopes?
