Drained shear strength of stiff clays for slope stability analyses
… from well documented field case histories of slopes that underwent previous sliding. The modified ring shear, direct shear, and triaxial compression apparatuses were used to investigate the fully softened shear strength using normally consolidated, remolded specimens. The natural soils used in …

Graphical and digital slope stability analyses for Giles County, Virginia
Slope stability maps are useful in seismic hazard evaluation, land use and emergency planning, and geomorphological studies. Such maps were generated for Giles County, Virginia (approximately 1000 square km) by the synthesis of data sets for topographic slope, surficial deposits, geologic …

Variation Of Geotechnical Strength Properties With Age Of Landfills Accepting Biosolids
… it creates a new problem – the geotechnical stability of landfills. In current literature, classical geotechnical testing methods have been followed to find the strength properties of these landfill materials. Furthermore, geotechnical methods of slope stability analyses have been employed to …

Seismic hazard analysis and seismic slope stability evaluation using discrete faults in northwestern Pakistan
… based on proper seismic hazard and seismic slope stability analyses. This study presents the methodology and results of seismic hazard and slope stability analyses in northwestern Pakistan. The first part of the thesis describes the methodology used to perform deterministic and probabilistic …

Centrifuge modelling of railway embankments under static and cyclic loading
… design of these embankments is usually done with slope stability analysis? method of slices. In the case of railway embankments, a uniformly distributed load is applied over a central ballast width of the embankment to represent the load induced by the train. This however does not take into …

A GIS-Based Strategy for Managing Levee Simulation Data
… not include features for storing seepage and slope stability data related to numerical analyses of levees. These data are critical in analyzing current levee conditions and predicting future failure scenarios, thus providing a path for further improving the safety of levees. The Levee Analyst …

Optimization of Pile Reinforced Slopes Using Finite Element Analyses
… landslides as well as in marginally stable slopes. Many practical empirical design and analysis methods of slope stability and piled-slope stability have been proposed. However, the solutions of analysis and design methods proposed vary due to different analysis methods used and the design …

Mechanisms of strength loss in stiff clays
… a major slide was discovered in the upstream slope of San Luis Darn, located about 100 miles southeast of San Francisco, California. The slide occurred at the end of a period of rapid drawdown of the reservoir. Although this was the longest and fastest drawdown in the life of the dam, 180 feet …

Transient Seepage Analysis for Levees and Dams: Numerical and Monitoring Approaches
… could be used to bracket field measurements. Slope stability analyses were performed as a proxy to assessing the progression of the wetting front in the levees. Accounting for the increase in shear strength due to the presence of matric suction resulted in minimal impacts to stability factors …

Effects of Reservoir Releases on Slope Stability and Bank Erosion
… taking into account factors such as reservoir stability, power generation, water supply for domestic, industrial, and agricultural uses, and the river ecosystem. However, riverbank stability has generally not been considered as a factor, even though release rates may have a significant effect …

THERMO-HYDRO-MECHANICAL NUMERICAL MODELLING TO ASSESS THE ROLE OF CLIMATIC FACTORS IN THE STABILITY OF ALPINE ROCK SLOPES
… impacts on the stress-strain evolution of rock slopes, through the adoption of a multi-disciplinary approach and the development of multiphysics numerical analyses. Several case studies of past and active rockslide events in the Alpine region were analyzed, for which the effects of different …

Use and Measurement of Fully Softened Shear Strength
… of the fully softened shear strength for slopes is based on back-analyses. Back-analyses of first-time failures in cuts in stiff-fissured clays and embankments constructed of fat clays have shown that, over a long period of time, the shear strength gets reduced from what is measured in the …
