Chapter 1
Stability of Slope
What is stability??
And
What is slope??

Slope

Inclined earth-mass or soil surface


between two grade of soil.

What is Stability
What is meaning of Stability ()
When there is no movement of a
body on application of a force then
the property of body to be stable
( )is called stability of the body.

So The knowledge
of stability of soil

We Know that
Slope
can
Fail
why slope fails???
Video

Stability of Slope
To understand stability of slope
We have to understand
How Slope Fail
or
Slope failure
or
Landslide

Types of Slopes
Infinite Slope

Finite Slope

Infinite Slope

Finite Slope but Can Be


Assumed as Infinite Slope

Infinite Slope

Finite Slope

Or
Landslide ()
Translational Landslide

()( )

Rotational

*Slip Surface: the plane above which soil

Infinite slope failure


or
Translational Landslide

There is movement of Soil so Translation.

Finite Slope Failure


or
Rotational Landslide

Why Rotational ???

Rotational Landslide

Types of Finite Slope Failure


Face Failure

Toe Failure

Base Failure

Infinite Slope Failure Analysis


or
Stability analysis of Infinite Slope

We
calculate
1. Maximum Driving Shear Force Acting
on Soil
2. Maximum Resisting Shear Force on Soil
. Factor of Safety
. If Factor of Safety > 1 then Safe
. BS 6039 says for stable slope:
Factor of Safety > 1.5

Calculation of Driving Shear


Stress
Case

1: No water-table near-by
Driving shear force=
=

So Driving shear stress =

Calculation of Resisting shear Stress


Mohr-Coulombs

shear resistance:
Resisting shear stress =
Where is the cohesiveness of soil
is the angle of internal friction of soil

= Normal stress
Normal Force =
=

Factor of Safety for infinite


slope

For a clayey soil, in which, the
equation above reduces to:

When water-table is above slipsurface

Water Pressure will create


additional driving force on
the soil above slip-surface.
Water pressure on soil

Calculation of Driving Shear


Stress
Case

2: water-table present
near-by
Driving shear force=
=
So Driving shear stress =

Water flow through he pores


And there is no effect

Calculation of Resisting shear Stress


shear resistance:
Mohr-Coulombs

Resisting shear stress =


Where is the cohesiveness of soil is the angle of
internal friction of soil

= Normal stress [due to water it will change]


Normal Force = - submerge effect
=-

Factor of Safety for infinite slope


when there is water-table

For a clayey soil, in which, the
equation above reduces to:
