SLOPE STABILITY
 CONTENT

• SLOPE FAILURE AND SLOPE STABILITY (SESSION 25-

26 : F2F)
• BISHOP METHOD (SESSION 25-26 : F2F)

 SLOPE FAILURE

• CAUSAL FACTOR OF FAILURE

– THE SLOPE IS TOO STEEP
– UNSUITABLE OF SOIL PROPERTIES
– LESS COMPACTION
– INFLUENCE OF PORE WATER AND OR RAIN
– EARTHQUAKE
– LIQUIFACTION
– HUMAN MANNER

 ROTATIONAL LANDSLIDE

• A Slope of 20 m height and angle 2H:1V had been landslide as shown

in following figure. The center of failure circle is at (35.1;55) and the
failure circle radius is 38.1 m

(35,1;55)

38,1 m
Determine the safety factor of slope base
on :
-Ordinary Method of Slices
 = 16 kN/m3
 = 20 o -Bishop’s Method
(20;20) c = 20 kN/m2
