A Review on Slope Stability Analysis

EasyChair Preprint 4302

Abstract

Slope stability analysis is a rapid developing area of study in geotechnical engineering as it has gained its importance after some major slope failure catastrophe. To provide a slope which is economic and safe is a great concern in construction industry. A slope is considered stable if the forces available to resist the movement are greater than the force driving the movement. A number of slope failures in the recent year calls for the slope analysis and possible preventive measures. The aim of the paper is to provide an overview of the research work which has been carried out which focus on the factors affecting the slope stability like sudden seepage pressure, erosion, tectonic activities etc. mechanism of the slope failure, numerical analysis. Also the paper aims to review the common methods to mitigate the failure.

Keyphrases: preventive measures, slope failure, slope stability
