Probability analysis of slope stability
… of geotechnical engineers to accurately model slope performance is compromised by a variety of factors. The net result of these considerations is that the exact behavior of slopes cannot be accurately predicted. Hence, geotechnical engineers resort to a factor of safety approach to reduce the …

Fluid flow and slope stability model
… calculate the changes in factor of safety of a slope with time resulting from changes in the water saturation. A two-phase fluid flow model was incorporated to calculate the saturation and saturation changes in fractured and nonfractured soil and rock. A slope stability model was created to …

Slope Stability Of Laterite Soil Embankments
… This study is performed to investigate the stability of embankments with sudden loss of strength with time and when it is fully saturated. The research includes an investigation of the properties of laterite soils around the world, with particular emphasis on Nigeria. Initially, information …

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 …

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 …

Slope Stability Analysis Of Class I Landfills With Co Disposal Of Bios
… to moisture characteristics and geotechnical stability are of utmost importance. Significant changes in the composition and characteristics of landfill may take place with the addition of sludges and biosolids. In particular, the stability of waste slopes needs to be investigated, which …

Role of Vegetation and Environmental Characteristics on Slope Stability in Northwest Arkansas
<p>Slope failure continues to pose risks to society because knowledge of environmental factors and their interactions are unclear and possibly misunderstood. This misunderstanding leads to generalizations about slope failure susceptibility mapping, despite knowing that slope failures are likely the …

Slope Stability of the Hunter Creek Formation: A Geotechnical Investigation Near Mogul, Nevada
… deltaic, and lacustrine facies. Numerous slope failures have occurred in the unit mostly along streams, canals, and the Truckee River. Field mapping showed that most of the slope failures occur south of Interstate 80 between Verdi and northwest Reno, Nevada.Four landslides were studied and …

SEISMIC ANALYSES OF SLOPE STABILITY AND LIMITING EARTH PRESSURES ACTING ON RETAINING STRUCTURES
… analysis was proposed to investigate the seismic stability of a soil slope and assess seismic limiting earth pressures acting on retaining structures. Such an analysis enables one to account for varying soil properties and complicated earthquake inputs, since it combines the advantages of …

Landslide susceptibility mapping through enhanced dynamic slope stability analysis using earth observing satellite measurements
… in mountainous regions. For most types of slope failure, soil moisture plays a critical role because increased pore water pressure reduces the soil strength and increases stress. The combined effect of soil moisture in unsaturated soil layers and pore water pressure in saturated soil layers …

Geophysical models of Mount Etna, Sicily : its structural evolution and implications for slope stability
… in the modern volcanic edifice with its observed slope instability and region of past collapse (the Valle del Bove). The structure and evolution of the volcano and, more importantly, the Valle del Bove are poorly understood but have major effects on its present day behaviour. Several geophysical …

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 …

Reliability Analysis of Tailings Storage Facility Embankments: Investigating the Effect of Zonation on Slope Stability
… stratigraphic or transformation uncertainty in slope stability assessment. Unlike natural soils, tailings are hydraulically deposited and develop alternating layers of coarse, dilative sands and fine, contractive slimes that exhibit contrasting hydraulic and mechanical behaviours. These inherent …
