liquid limit of a wide variety of natural soll
The use of A-line and the U-line has suggested that the
shrinkage limit of 2 soil can be approximately determined if
its plasticity index and liquid limit are known.
Steps to determine the Shrinkage Limit
a. Plot the plasticity index against the liquid limit of a given
soll such as point A.
b. Project the A-line and the U-line downward to meet at
point. Point 8 will have the coordinates ofLL = 43.5 and
P= 46.4,
¢. Join points 8 and A witha straight line. This will intersect
the liquid limit axis at point C, The abscissa of point C is

2 Types of Slope (according to construction)
1. Natural slope
- People have no contribution to its existence.
2. Manmade Slope
- People have contribution to its existence.
Slope failure occurs when the force tending to cause
rupture exceeds the resisting force.
Classifications of slope failure:
1. Creep~ slow soil movement
2. Slide ~ rapid movement of intact or nearly intact soil
masses.
3. Fall ~ rock or soll that detaches from a nearly vertical
slope and descends mainly through air.
4. Mud flow — soft cohesive slope failure by lateral
spreading.
- the maximum slope for cuts in cohesionless (drained) sand.
‘Common causes of slope failure:
1. Gravitational slope
2. Force due to seepage of water
3. Erosion of slope surface due to flowing water
4, Sudden lowering of water adjacent toa slope
5. Forces due to earthquakes

Note: Bearing capacity failure occurs when the shear strength of
failure exceeded.
1. General Shear Failure
- a continuous failure surface develops between the edge of
the footing and the heaving of ground surface.
al
2. Local Shear Fail
~ a condition where significant compression of the soil occurs
but only slight heave occurs at the ground surface.
3. Punching Shear Failure
- occurs where there Is relatively high compression of the soil
underlying the footing with neither heaving at the ground
surface nor tilting of the foundation.
