18.8 Swedish Method of Slices Example

[@antonioanidi5271]

For slice 1 and 2 the value of T=Wxsin alpha is negative due to the position and effect of the slices on global, so please notice the difference.

[@tareqalbukhari]

I think the weight of slices 1 and 2 must be negative.

[@MYNOJKUMAR]

Thanks for complete clarity in deliberation.

[@motasemsudani4257]

Thank you very much

[@daniellopessilva298]

the soil mass weight dont would be differente under and above the line of water?

[@koeberle]

Where did you get gamma w of 9.81 when starting to do pore pressures? Got it, 9.81kn/m is the unit weight of water.

[@ShihabAhmed]

what is the effect of surcharge (if there is any) in this calculation?

[@denzelpillay8166]

what would you do if the unit weights are different

[@rexonakhatoon8108]

I didn't get it how you are getting the first three columns angle ,thickness, height. Can you please explain elaborately for better understanding?Thank you.

[@dahaproject3498]

I only download from elearning website, in the practical you must predict where is the critical slice location. (minimum safety factor). maybe this instructor use assumption only.

[@MasterCivilEngineering]

Watch here more dear

[@MasterCivilEngineering]

Good example

[@emperoralani]

I have 2 question, 1. Did you assume the dimensions for the width and height of the slice? 2. Is there a way to calculate the angle of the slice without using protractor?

[@Enderayenah]

This is what i wanna know too TT

[@talhajamil5415]

Did you get an answer to that?

[@muhammadalief7405]

what if the angle of friction is 0? because clay have no angle of friction

[@learnmathwithprivilege]

This really helped

[@miseantropatagonianbaggins1057]

why the unit of W is kN, shouldnt it be kN/m

[@flipogrind8433]

how do you determine the center of the circle? If you don't have the value of the radius

[@dahaproject3498]

this instructor use asumption

[@MasterCivilEngineering]

Good question

[@guapo8711]

Thanks you

[@khaleelshaik5111]

One dout sirr How u got the height h

[@fromhereandhere8442]

From his drawings i think

[@dahaproject3498]

yes, use asumption

[@MasterCivilEngineering]

Average height

[@asyrafhaziq4208]

how do you divide the slice??

[@MasterCivilEngineering]

Depends upon the question

[@Enderayenah]

​@@MasterCivilEngineeringwhat if the width slice is 2m?
