Question

$\text{An earthen dam of height H is made of cohesive soil}\text{whose cohesion and unit weight are c and}\gamma respectively.\text{If the factor of safety against cohesion is}{F}_c,\text{the Taylor's stability}$

• A. $\frac{\gamma H}{c{F}_c}$
• B. $\frac{F_c\gamma H}{c}$
• C. $\frac{c}{F_c\gamma H}$
• D. $\frac{c{F}_c}{\gamma H}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{c}{F_c\gamma H}$

$S_n=\frac{C}{F_c\gamma H}$
