Project: Pilipinas Kao Inc.: Slope Stability

This document discusses slope stability parameters for two projects. For the Pilipinas Kao Inc project: it provides the soil parameters of internal friction angle, slope angle, cohesion, unit weight, and factor of safety. It then shows the calculations to solve for the soil height using these parameters. For the 230/138KV Magdugo Substation project: it provides the soil parameters for two soil layers, calculates the resisting and applied forces, and solves for the failure plane angle and distance to ensure a factor of safety above the required level.

Soil Parameters

Angle of Internal Friction, 16.0 deg
Soil Slope, 30.0 deg
Cohesion, c = 9.60 kPa
Soil Unit Weight, = 15.7 kN/m3
Factor of Safety, FS = 1.09

Solution
W= *H*x
W1 = N = W*cos
= *H*x*cos
= 13.6*H*x
W1 = N = 13.6*H*x

W2 = W*sin
= *H*x*sin
= 15.7*H*x*sin(30)
W2 = 7.85*H*x

F1 = N
= Tan *N
= Tan(16) * (13.6*H*x)
F1 = 3.9*H*x

F2 = c*y
= c*x/cos
= 9.6*x/cos(30)
F2 = 11.09*x

FS = (F1+F2)/W2
1.085 = (3.9*H*x+11.09*x)/(7.85*H*x)

c. Total Weight, Wt

Wt = WI + WS = 160.56 kN

d. Calculation of Forces

N = Wt ( cos )
= 154.34 kN
F1 = N ( Force due to friction )
= 89.11 kN
F2 = C ( Force due to cohesion )
= 0.00 kN ( cohesionless soil )

FR = F1 + F2 ( Resisting Force )
89.11 kN

FA = Wt ( sin ) ( Applied Force )


= 44.26 kN
F= FA - FR
= -44.85 kN
FS = FR / FA = 2.01
FS > FSREQ ( SAFE!!! )
