Which outcome occurs when the terrace backfill exceeds limit?

💡 Explanation

When terrace backfill material exceeds loading design, there is slope destabilization. This is due to increased lateral pressure because Rankine's active earth pressure mechanism leads to shearing. Therefore, destabilization occurs, rather than saturation-dependent shear.
