20. Consider the following slope:
Please do the following:
(a) (4 pts) Enter the geometry and material properties for the slope and soil profile into UTEXASED.
(b) (3 pts) Find the critical factor of safety using a cicular failure surface. Save your input UTEXASED input file.
(c) (5 pts) Find the critical factor of safety for a non-circular failure suface where the horizontal bottom of the surface is constrained to lie within the 2 ft thick clay seam. Use a total of four points for your failure surface. Save your UTEXASED input file under a separate name.
