Presented Results:

The report must include the followings:

1. types of slope failure (Translational slide, Rotational failure, Flow slide)

2. Causes of slope failure (Gravity, Seepage, Earthquake, Erosion, Geological features,

Construction activities, Rapid drawdown)

3. Stability of Infinite slope (pore water pressure is zero, stability with seepage)

4. Tension crack

5. Stability of finite slope

1.1 Mass Procedure-Slopes in Homogeneous clay (=0) , Taylor chart (1937),

Michalowski chart (2002)
1.2 Mass Procedure-Slopes in Homogeneous soil (c,), Taylor chart (1937),
Michalowski chart (2002)

6. Stability of Infinite slope

1.1 Ordinary method of slices (Fellenius, 1927)
1.2 Bishop’s Simplified method of slice for Steady-State Seepage (Bishop, 1955)
a) Michalowski chart (2002)
7. Calculation follow below

1). Use Bishop’s simplified method to estimate the factors of safety of the slope
shown in Figure. Assume the soil above the phreatic surface to be saturated. Consider
with no tension crack in two cases: Case 1—Effective stress analysis, Case 2— Total
stress analysis.
