Outline of Presentation
- What is slope failure ? - Type of landslide - Factors causing landslide - Slope stabilisation methods - What is Soil Nail ? - Construction procedure - Quality control of Soil nailing - SLOPE/W slope analysis software - Case Study ( Hong Kong ) - Conclusion
Hong Kong , 1995
China
Type of landslide
Fall type landslide
Usually occurring in rock slopes, rock displacement and rock fall with a very fast movement.
Newcastle , Australia
Type of landslide
Slide type landslide
Slides are usually caused by mass movements that present a welldefined failure wedge and surface
Type of landslide
Flow type landslide
Flow landslide is a continuous viscous slide involving soil or rock. If material is clay or fine soil material, this flow is called mud flow
Australia , 1997
- Surcharge
- Shocks and vibrations ( Earth quake, blasting)
Masonry - Use stone pitching as a rigid surface cover to prevent erosion and surface runoff.
Chunam - Cement sand mix material for surface protection
Soil nail
Slope reinforced by the inserting steel reinforcing bars
Hong Kong
Soil re-compaction
Excavate loose soil and backfill re-compaction
Soil replacement
Use other material replacing loose soil (No-fine concrete replacement)
Hong Kong
Hong Kong
Stone Columns
Increase average shear resistance of soil along potential slip surface by using compacted stone
Soil Nail
What is SOIL NAIL ?
Steel bar
Centraliser
Grout column
- Flexibility
- Reinforcement Redundancy

2. Bleeding test & Flow Cone test (for Liquid grout ) 3. Compressive strength test (for harden grout) 4. Pull out & proofing Tests
4. Use soil nail capacity calculation to determine bond length , bar size, spacing and inclination angle
5. Re- analysis the slope model use final design parameter
Design Criteria
1. Slope critical section FOS > Design requirement
Bedrock
Use Morgenstern-Prices Method Minimum FOS = 0.986 FOS (0.986) < 1.4 (HK requirement)
Slip No 1 2 3 4

Conclusion
- From the Case Study , the slope stability has been significantly improved by Soil nailing - Limit equilibrium method using Slope/W is an accurate approach to design soil nail walls in practice - Soil nailing method has a simple design method and easy construction method - Soil nail is the most cost-efficient solution for slope stabilisation
