STABILITY ANALYSIS OF CUT SLOPE ALONG THE ROAD ALIGNMENT

Abstract

The current study used several geotechnical parameters of rock slope sections to analyse the stability of cut slope along the road alignment. The project's goal is to conduct a rock mass slope stability analysis. Four different heights of open cut slopes in rock are mentioned throughout the study. It comes across (Overburden and Weathered Rock). To ensure that the entire cut slopes are stable, FoS will be obtain. If the unsupported slope's FOS is less than desirable, suitable support system shall be used and it will be reanalyzed to achieve desired FOS. SLIDE 6.0 is a two-dimensional programme used for slope stability and assesses the safety factor of circular and non-circular slope failure in soil and rock slopes. This project includes critical sections for cut heights of 8m, 16m, 24m, and 32m. Roclab software was used to compute the Mohr Coulomb fit rock mass for both Overburden and Weathered Rock.
