Slope stability analysis and rehabilitation for finite slope

Abstract

Slope stability analysis was conducted to evaluate the safe design of man-made or natural slopes. The term finite slope is given to any slope of finite extent with limited height such as slopes of embankments, dams, cuts, and canals. Failure of a slope is likely to occur if the effect of friction on the sliding surface slope is reduced. The physical properties such as land slope cohesion between soil particles also influence factors of slope failure. This study was conducted to analyse the safety factor of the slope at Bukit Mengkuang , Jitra . This study involves the collection of soil sample and the soil properties will be obtained from laboratory test. Then, the simulation for the slope by using Plaxis 2D software will be analysed. From the analysis on the slope, soil type, slope safety factor, shear strain and slope repair can be determined. This study also includes simulations some rehabilitation method on the slope to avoid the slope of failure. The effectiveness of a rehabilitation method slope for slope stability is a very important factor to prevent slope failure occurs.
