Probabilistic Assessment of Fill Slope Stability

Geo-China 2016, 2016
Conventional slope stability analyses have commonly been based on a deterministic approach. Various deterministic-based analysis methods developed to date can assess the stability of a given slope using the factor of safety. However, it has been strongly debated that the use of only the factor of safety does not explicitly account for the uncertainties

Instability Caused by a Seepage Impediment in Layered Fill Slopes

Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 2008
The underlying cause of loose fill slope failures in Hong Kong has been attributed to static liquefaction during heavy rainfall. A series of centrifuge model tests and numerical analyses were conducted to illustrate that instability of a fill slope inclined at approximately the internal friction angle of the soil can be triggered by confined ...

Loose Fill Slope Stabilization With Soil Nails: Full-Scale Test

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering - ASCE, 2008
Soil nailing is commonly used for stabilizing cut slopes and retaining structures. The technique is, however, seldom used in stabilizing old loose fill slopes that were not constructed to the current standards.

Stability of slopes of hydraulic-fill dams

2021
The experimental data of stationary observations of pore pressure in a body of a hydraulic-fill dam have been given. The analysis of the results shows it is necessary to take into account of pore pressure at the account of stability of slopes of hydraulic-fill dams.

Model Test Study on the Hydrological Mechanisms and Early Warning Thresholds for Loess Fill Slope Failure Induced by Rainfall

Engineering Geology, 2019
Under rainfall conditions, the characteristics of hydraulic changes related to the failure evolution of fill slopes are critical for the early warning of slope failure.

Softening of Fill Slopes due to Moisture Infiltration

Journal of Geotechnical Engineering, 1990
Fill in slope areas is generally placed and compacted near optimum moisture, which is often well below saturation. At optimum moisture content, compacted clayey fill has high shear-strength characteristics because of negative pore pressures. After construction of the slope, additional moisture is introduced into the fill by irrigation, rainfall, or ...

Fill Placement on Slopes Underlain by Franciscan Mélange

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2011
Distress in two housing developments was caused by a deep bedrock landslide triggered by placement of a large upslope fill. The large fill was placed to create a visual barrier between the upslope development and downslope housing developments and to balance the cut and fill quantities for the upslope site.

Slope Stability Analysis for Filled Slopes Using Finite Element Limit Analysis Method

Soil Behavior and Geomechanics, 2014
This paper uses the finite element upper and lower bound limit analysis to assess the stability of slopes mostly found in embankment cases where frictional materials are filled on purely cohesive undrained clay. For comparison purposes, the commonly used stability assessment method, limit equilibrium method (LEM) is also employed. The final results for

GPR Condition Survey of the Fill Slope of the River Dam

2020 IEEE Ukrainian Microwave Week (UkrMW), 2020
This paper presents the results of a survey of the slope of an earthen dam using GPR. The purpose of the survey was to determine local dam zones with high humidity. The survey was carried out using SFCW GPR along the entire slope of the dam. It is shown that the use of SFCW GPR allows us to determine the physical structure of the fill slope of the dam,

Lateral Extension of Compacted-Fill Slopes in Expansive Soils

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2015
AbstractMany compacted embankments are composed of expansive soils. Water from landscape irrigation, precipitation, and subsurface seepage can gradually infiltrate throughout the fill and cause bot...
