Drained residual shear strength is applicable to slopes containing preexisting shear surfaces and preexisting landslides. Laboratory ring shear testing by various researchers suggest the possibility of strength gain along preexisting shear surfaces which had ...

Self-hardening cement-bentontie (c-b) slurry walls were constructed as shear walls to stabilize the downstream slope of Tuttle Creek Dam near Manhattan, Kansas. The slope stabilization was required to protect the existing pressure relief well system located ...

<p>The primary goal of this report was to develop Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) methods for slopes and retaining structures. Even though there is past research on LRFD of shallow foundations and piles, there are very few publications available on ...

Cement-bentonite (c-b) self-hardening slurry walls are being constructed as a seismic retrofit to stabilize the downstream slope of Tuttle Creek Dam in Manhattan, Kansas. A full-scale test program was conducted to evaluate various slurry mixes along with two ...

This report explores analytical and design methods for the seismic design of retaining walls, buried structures, slopes, and embankments. The Final Report is organized into two volumes. NCHRP Report 611 is Volume 1 of this study

<p>This paper overviews five slope assessment systems(SAS) developed in Malaysia for predicting landslide for large-scale assessments.</p>

This paper presents results of numerical analyses for the seismic response of step-like ground slopes in uniform visco-elastic soil, under vertically propagating SV seismic waves.

Soil nails are commonly used to strengthen or stabilize a slope. However, slope failure may still happen if the designed depths of soil nails are inadequate. This paper presents a slope failure case history of a soil nails strengthened slope. The slope wasoriginally ...
