Given the braced cut, a) Calculate the factor of safety against base heave of the excavation (F. S. Base Heave ?) b) Calculate the horizontal strut spacing of both struts, if the allowable load capacities of struts are given as and , respectively.
Expert Answer
The factor of safety against base heave of the excavation currently exists calculated based on the resisting forces (r) in addition to driving forces (d) acting on the base.
