A cross section of a canal is shown in Figure. Determine the factor of safety for (a) the existing condition (b) a rapid drawdown of the water level in the canal. Use Bishop's method. The center of rotation of the sliding mass is at coordinates x= 113 m and y = 133 m. The rock surface is tangent to the slip plane. Assume the soil above the groundwater level is saturated. The properties of the soil is provided in the image along with the cross section of the canal.
