Study Notes

Introduction to Slope and Support Structure Stability

  • Slope stability analyses are crucial for predicting and mitigating ground movement risks, including landslides, subsidence, and other geotechnical hazards.
  • Understanding slope stability factors enables proactive measures to prevent failures.
  • Support structures (like retaining walls) are designed to counteract forces acting on slopes, maintaining stability.

Factors Affecting Slope Stability

  • Geometry: Slope angle, length, and height impact stability. Steeper slopes are less stable.
  • Material Properties: Soil type (cohesion, friction angle, permeability), rock characteristics, and spatial variability influence stability.
  • Water Conditions: Groundwater level, precipitation, and seepage affect pore water pressure, reducing effective stress and decreasing stability.
  • Loading: Surcharge loads (buildings, vehicles) and seismic activity increase stresses on the slope, potentially triggering failures.
  • Time: Erosion, weathering, and creep lead to gradual slope degradation over time.
  • Vegetation: Root systems increase soil strength and cohesion, enhancing slope stability.

Methods for Assessing Slope Stability

  • Limit Equilibrium Analysis: Methods like the Swedish Circle Method, Bishop's Method, and Janbu's Method estimate the factor of safety (resisting forces/driving forces).
  • Numerical Methods: Finite element analysis (FEA) and advanced limit equilibrium methods offer detailed, comprehensive approaches considering complex soil behavior.
  • Monitoring: Inclinometers, extensometers, and settlement measurements continuously track slope movements.

Retaining Wall Design Considerations

  • Types of Retaining Walls: Gravity, cantilever, sheet pile, and anchored walls have specific design criteria.
  • Forces Acting on Retaining Walls: Wall weight, lateral earth pressure, water pressure (if present), and surcharge loads are considered.
  • Materials: Concrete, steel, timber, and composites are used based on soil conditions, budget, and aesthetics.
  • Stability Analysis: Sliding, overturning, and foundation bearing capacity failures are analysed.
  • Drainage: Proper drainage systems prevent uplift and soil softening behind walls.

Slope Stabilization Techniques

  • Drainage Measures: Ditches, pipes, and other systems reduce groundwater pressure and runoff.
  • Grading and Excavation: Reduced slope angles, appropriate levels, and removal of unstable materials are crucial.
  • Erosion Control: Vegetation, geotextiles, and other methods stabilize the surface layer.
  • Reinforcement Techniques: Soil nailing, rock bolts, and other techniques enhance soil strength and slope support.
  • Geosynthetics: Geotextiles, geomembranes, and geogrids enhance slope stability and strength.

Importance of Geotechnical Investigations

  • Site Characterisation: Identifying soil type, composition, and geological hazards.
  • Laboratory Tests: Shear strength tests, permeability tests, and others provide crucial design input parameters.
  • In-situ Testing: Field measurements evaluate ground behavior.
  • Geological Surveys: Understanding stratigraphy and geological features is crucial.

Safety Considerations

  • Risk Assessment: Evaluating potential geotechnical risks, likelihood, and consequences is vital.
  • Monitoring Programs: Regular monitoring detects movements and instability.
  • Emergency Response Plans: A plan for immediate action in case of slope failure protects property and safety.
  • Public Awareness: Communicating risks, problems, and solutions to the public ensures safety.
