8. (slope-limit equil) Under what circumstances would the ordinary method of slices and Bishop's simplified procedure give the same answer?
9. (slope-limit equil) What equilibrium equations are NOT satisfied with the Force Equilibrium method?
10. (slope-shear strength) For a CU triaxial test, the drainage valve is curing the consolidation stage and during the shearing stage.
11. (slope-limit equil) For the general method of slices, there are unknowns and equilibrium equations. To satisfy complete equilibrium, a total simplifying assumptions must be made.
12. (slope-limit equil) The Lowe and Karafaith, Simplified Janbu, and US Army Corps of Engineers methods are all variants of the technique. The difference in each method is the manner in which the is/are determined.
