The factor of safety in slope design is defined as:
A. Ratio of resisting forces to driving forces
B. Driving force � resisting force
C. Shear force � normal force
D. Unit weight � cohesion
Answer: Option A
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Factor of Safety (FoS) = Resisting forces / Driving forces.It helps determine slope stability; FoS > 1.0 implies stability.This Question Belongs to Geological Engineering >> Rock Mechanics And Rock Engineering
