Stability of Slopes 9.1 Introduction
Translational slips tend to occur where the adjacent stratum is at a relatively shallow depth below the surface of the slope:the failure surface tends to be plane and roughly parallel to the slope.Compound slips usually occur where the adjacent stratum is at greater depththe failure surface consisting of curved and plane sections
In practice, limiting equilibrium methods are used in the analysis of slope stability. It is considered that failure is on the point of occurring along an assumed or a known failure surfaceThe shear strength required to maintain a condition of limiting equilibrium is compared with the available shear strength of the soilgiving the average factor of safety along the failure surfaceThe problem is considered in two dimensionsconditions of plane strain being assumedIt has been shown that a two-dimensional analysis gives a conservative result for a failure on a three-dimensional(dish-shaped surface
9.2 Analysis for the Case of φu =0 This analysis, in terms of total stresscovers the case of a fully saturated clay under undrained conditions, i.e. For the condition immediately after constructionOnly moment equilibrium is considered in the analysisIn section, the potential failure surface is assumed to be a circular arc. A trial failure surface(centre Oradius r and length La
where F is the factor of safety with respect to shear strengthEquating moments about O
Therefore

(9.1
The moments of any additional forces must be taken into accountIn the event of a tension crack
developing as shown in Fig.9.2the arc length La is shortened and a hydrostatic force will act normal to the crack if the crack fills with waterIt is necessary to analyze the slope for a number of trial failure surfaces in order that the minimum factor of safety can be determined
Based on the principle of geometric similarityTaylor[9.9]published stability coefficients for the analysis of homogeneous slopes in terms of total stressFor a slope of height H the stability coefficient (Ns for the failure surface along which the factor of safety is a minimum is
(9.2 For the case ofφu =0values of Nss depends on the slope angleβand the depth factor Dwhere DH is the depth to a firm stratum
Gibson and Morgenstern [9.3] published stability coefficients for slopes in normally consolidated clays in which the undrained strength cuu =0 varies linearly with depth
Example 9.1 A 45°slope is excavated to a depth of 8 m in a deep layer of saturated clay of unit weight 19 kNm3:the relevant shear strength parameters are cu =65 kNm2 andφu
In Fig.9.4, the cross-sectional area ABCD is 70 m2. Weight of soil mass=70×19=1330kNm The centroid of ABCD is 4.5 m from OThe angle AOC is 89.5°and radius OC is 12.1 mThe arc length ABC is calculated as 18.9mThe factor of safety is given by
This is the factor of safety for the trial failure surface selected and is not necessarily the minimum factor of safety
The minimum factor of safety can be estimated by using Equation 9.2. From Fig.9.3β=45°and assuming that D is largethe value of Ns
9.3 The Method of Slices
αand the height, measured on the centre-1ine,is h. The factor of safety is defined as the ratio of the available shear strength(τfto the shear strength(τm which must be mobilized to maintain a condition of limiting equilibrium, i.e. The factor of safety is taken to be the same for each sliceimplying that there must be mutual support between slicesi.e. forces must act between the slices
The forces (per unit dimension normal to the section acting on a slice are 1.The total weight of the sliceW=γb h (γsat where appropriate 2.The total normal force on the baseN (equal to σlIn general this force has two componentsthe effective normal force N'(equal toσ'l and the boundary water force U(equal to ul where u is the pore water pressure at the centre of the base and l is the length of the base
3.The shear force on the baseT=τml.
