Toppling Failure Analysis
There is a fault, dipping at an angle of 15° out of the face, at the toe of the
slope that is weathering and undercutting the face. A tension crack, which is
wider at the top than at the bottom, has developed 1.8 m behind the crest of
the slope indicating that the face is marginally stable. The friction angle 𝜙of the

Given:
Y =6 m α =15 °
A=1.8 m2 /m
a. W =φr × A × y
W =23.5 ×1.8 ×6
W =254 kN /m

b. Δ x / y=¿1.8 /6 ¿
Δ x / y=0.3
tan15 ° ¿ 0.267
Based in the calculation Δ x / y > tan α means the block is stable against
toppling.
c. Stabilization Measure yang bisa dilakukan adalah dengan adanya
