Slope Stability Analysis Based on AASHTO 17th & 2018 IBC
DESIGN CRITERIA
1. Assume that building/structure load, P, may cause three kind of failures: Slope Circle Failure, Toe Circle Failure, or Base Circle Failure. All failures
started at the edge of building.
2. For wild fired mountain (tree total lost slope), the effective unit weight of soil, geff, should input the both values of (gsaturated - gwater) and gsaturated
no matter if current soil is saturated or not, to check the worse condition.
3. The default cut angle of toe circle failure, btoe, is 53o. When slope angle greater than it, the failure will be base circle failure, but less will be slope
circle failure. User may change the default 53o, and input P zero load with different D and W values, to check general slope stability.

INPUT DATA & DESIGN SUMMARY

SOIL EFFECTIVE UNIT WEIGHT g eff = 38 pcf, (609 kg/m3) THE DESIGN IS ADEQUATE.
SOIL INTERNAL FRICTION ANGLE f = 30 deg
SOIL EFFECTIVE COHESION c = 0.4 ksf, (19 kPa) Factor of Safety, F = 1.51
BUILDING PRESSURE (LOAD) P = 4.2 ksf, (201 kPa)
DEMENSION H = 40 ft, (12.19 m) D = 10 ft, (3.05 m)
W = 30 ft, (9.14 m) R = 81.50 ft, (24.84 m)
SLOPE (Vertical : Horizontal Ratio) 1.05 : 1.0 (b = 46.3972 < btoe = 53 deg , Slope Circle Failure apply.)
