Slope Stability • Stresses and Strength • Applies to all sloping surfaces • Balancing of driving and resisting forces • If Resisting forces > Driving Forces: stability
Slope Stability • Stresses and Strength • Applies to all sloping surfaces • Balancing of driving and resisting forces • If Resisting forces > Driving Forces: stability • Engineering Approach • Delineate the surface that is most at risk • Calculate the stresses • Calculate the Shear Strength
A Friendly Review From Last Month…… Stress on an inclined plane to Force σ = Force / Area Where is Normal Force and Shear Force = ?? cos Θ= a =Fn h = Fg sin Θ = o = Fs h=Fg Fn = Fg cos Θ Fs = Fg sin Θ
Shear Stress Analysis Fn = Fg cos Θ Fs = Fg sin Θ Find the Shear stress What is behind this pretty little box???
Shear Stress Analysis Fn = Fg cos Θ Fs = Fg sin Θ
Consider a planar slide whose failure surface is ‘linear’…..
II. Planar Slide—case 1 Volume of Slice = MO x PR x 0.5 x 1 ft
II. Planar Slide—case 1 Volume of Slice = MO x PR x 0.5 x 1 ft
Sa = Shear Stress Sa = W sin β W = Fg Fn = Fg cos β Fs = Fg sin β
Sa = W sin β Sr = Shear Resistance = (Friction + Cohesion)
Sa = W sin β Fn = Fg cos β Fs = Fg sin β Sr = Friction + Cohesion = W cos β tan ϕ + c * (segment MO) Sr = W cos β tan ϕ + cL
Factor of Safety Fs = Sr = W cos β tan ϕ + cL Sa = W sin β
Sa = shear stress Sa = W sin β

III. Rotational Slide—case 1 • The process • Determine volume of each slice • Determine the weight of each slice
III. Rotational Slide—case 1 • The process • Determine volume of each slice • Determine the weight of each slice • Calculate the driving and resisting forces • of each slice • Sum ‘em up and let it rip!
III. Rotational Slide—case 1 “should use a minimum of 6 slices”
For Slice 1: 11’ x 20’ x 1’ = 220 ft3 220 ft3 x 100 lbs/ft3 = 22,000 lbs. For Slice 2: 30’ x 20’ x 1’ = 600 ft3 600 ft3 x 100 lbs/ft3 = 60,000 lbs Calculate the weight of each slice… For Slice 3: 38’ x 20’ x 1’ = 760 ft3 760 ft3 x 100 lbs/ft3 = 76,000 lbs For Slice 4: 25’ x 20’ x 1’ = 500 ft3 500 ft3 x 100 lbs/ft3 = 50,000 lbs
