3.1- Slope Stability Analysis using PLAXIS 2D Part 1

Описание: Slope stability analysis is the process of assessing the safety of slopes or embankments against potential failure due to external forces such as earthquakes, rainfall, and human activities. This analysis involves evaluating the stability of the slope by considering factors such as soil type, groundwater conditions, slope angle, and the weight of the soil and any
structures on it. There are various types of slopes based on their geological formation and shape. The most common types are:
 Natural slopes: These are slopes that are formed by natural processes such as erosion, weathering, and landslides.
 Man-made slopes: These are slopes that are created by human activities such as construction of embankments, road cuts, and excavation of mines.
 Rock slopes: These are slopes that are formed by rocks and are commonly found in mountainous areas.
 Soil slopes: These are slopes that are formed by soil and are commonly found in lowlying areas and hillsides.
 Earthquake-induced slopes: These are slopes that are formed due to the seismic activity and can be highly unstable.

Each type of slope has unique characteristics that influence its stability, and thus, requires specific analysis techniques for assessing their safety.
There are two sections to this project:
1. Calculate the project's maximum width (𝐿.max) using Plaxis software by selecting the ideal factor of safety value and sharpest angle.
2. determining the potential slide surface using Geo-slope (GeoStudio) software.    • 3.2- Slope Stability Analysis using GeoStu...
