  • Geoysynthetic Reinforced Embankment Slopes Akshay Kumar Jha and Madhav Madhira
    Chapter Geoysynthetic Reinforced Embankment Slopes Akshay Kumar Jha and Madhav Madhira Abstract Slope failures lead to loss of life and damage to property. Slope instability of natural slope depends on natural and manmade factors such as excessive rainfall, earthquakes, deforestation, unplanned construction activity, etc. Manmade slopes are formed for embankments and cuttings. Steepening of slopes for construc- tion of rail/road embankments or for widening of existing roads is a necessity for development. Use of geosynthetics for steep slope construction considering design and environmental aspects could be a viable alternative to these issues. Methods developed for unreinforced slopes have been extended to analyze geosynthetic reinforced slopes accounting for the presence of reinforcement. Designing geosyn- thetic reinforced slope with minimum length of geosynthetics leads to economy. This chapter presents review of literature and design methodologies available for reinforced slopes with granular and marginal backfills. Optimization of reinforce- ment length from face end of the slope and slope - reinforcement interactions are also presented. Keywords: slopes, geosynthetics, reinforcement, optimization of length, marginal soils, steepening 1. Introduction Landslides in slopes and failures of embankment and cut slopes lead to loss of life and property. Several factors, natural and manmade, such as heavy rainfall, unplanned construction, deforestation, restricting waterways of rivers and their tributaries are major causes for instability of slopes. Factors controlling stability of natural slopes are type of soil, environmental conditions, groundwater, stress history, rainfall, cloud burst, earthquakes, etc. Landslide mortality rate exceeds one per 100 km2 per year in developing countries like India, China, Nepal, Peru, Venezuela, Philippines and Tajikistan [1, 2].

  • Effect of Precipitation on the Slope Stability of Landfills Gergő Albert1–Krisztina Beáta Faur2 INTRODUCTION
    Geosciences and Engineering, Vol. 3, No. 5 (2014), pp 155-163. Effect of precipitation on the slope stability of landfills Gergő Albert1–Krisztina Beáta Faur2 1MSc student - 2Department engineer;1,2Institute of Environmental Management, Department of Hydrogeology and Engineering Geology, H-3515 Miskolc-Egyetemváros, [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT Precipitation and pore water pressure increase can cause landslides not only on tropical climate, but also in Hungary. The determination of the effect of different amounts of precipitation is the main goal of this paper. The slope stability calculations were run by Soilvision’s coupled SVFlux and SVSlope modules. Due to the lack of knowledge of the input parameters several problem occurred by the evaluation of the results. Further investigation of the hydraulic and the geotechnical parameters of municipal solid wastes are suggested for more reliable calculations. INTRODUCTION Several large, sometimes fatal landfill failures in the world prove the effect of pore water pressure increase on slope stability. Since we have the opportunity to use the Soilvision software package, we tried to couple the SV Flux and the SV Slope modules to determine the effect of precipitation on landfills without cover systems (e.g. landfills under construction). The stability analysis of the failure (in February 2005) of the Leuwigajah dumpsite near Bandung, Indonesia proved that the failure most likely have been triggered by water pressure in the soft subsoil in combination with a severe damage of reinforcement particles due to a smoldering landfill fire. This result addresses a specific stability problem in tropical countries. Since precipitation is high (1500–2000 m per year), but non-uniform, both events may happen.

In engineering design, cost is always a big concern. To minimize the cost, engineers tend to seek an optimal combination of design parameters among the considered alterna- tives while ensuring the optimal solution is safe. Reliability-based optimization (RBO) is such a technique that provides engineers the optimal design with the minimum cost while all technical design requirements are satisfied.

  • 1.1 Geography 486/586 Splansky and Laris 2005 PALOS VERDES PENINSULA I. HISTORY
    1.1 Geography 486/586 Splansky and Laris 2005 PALOS VERDES PENINSULA I. HISTORY: DATES AND PLACE NAMES In 1602 Sebastian Vizcaino, sailing northward from Acapulco, re-named the bay east of the peninsula San Pedro Bay (viewed on the Feast Day of Saint Peter). Earlier, it had been named the "Bay of Smokes" by Juan Cabrillo. Vizcaino also referred to and charted the existence of the Palos Verdes (green stalks) observed to the west of the bay. In 1784, Rancho San Pedro was granted to Juan Jose Dominguez. This change in land ownership status represented the first private land grant in Alta California and it included the Palos Verdes peninsula. Subsequent carving up of the Rancho San Pedro created one portion named Rancho de Los Palos Verdes which was acquired by the son of Juan Jose Sepulveda. In 1792, George Vancouver, on his return voyage from the Canadian Pacific coast, met and liked Father Fermin Francisco de Lasuen while visiting the Carmel Mission. Vancouver also met and liked Friar Vicente Santa Maria while visiting the San Buenaventura Mission. In 1793, while rounding the Palos Verdes peninsula, he named and charted Points Vicente and Fermin after the two clerics. II. PALOS VERDES: GENERAL TERMINOLOGY AND INFORMATION The Palos Verdes Peninsula is a northwest trending dome-like ridge, 9 miles long and up to 5 miles wide. Its crest has gentling rolling topography at elevations ranging from 1480 to 1100 feet above sea level. Below this upland, remnants of a flight of Pleistocene marine terraces ring the peninsula and demonstrate it was an island during most of its geomorphic evolution.

  • Deterministic and Probabilistic 3D Analysis of Slope Rupture at BR 116 PR/SP Highway in Unsaturated Soil

Student, Graduate Program in Civil Construction Engineering, Federal University of Paraná, Curitiba 81531, Brazil 2Professor, Graduate Program in Civil Construction Engineering, Federal University of Paraná, Curitiba 81531, Brazil Abstract. This research was developed with the purpose of presenting a deterministic and probabilistic assessment of the stability of slope located in state of São Paulo-Brazil, in the area denominated Serra Pelada, BR 116 PR/SP, with the incorporation of different suction scenarios in the unsaturated soil. The methodology was composed by 2D and 3D modelling of the slope, in the SoilVision’s SVSlope software, with the imposition of two water levels on the slope, one of 6.5 meters deep and another of 7.5 meters. The results demonstrate the variability of the probability of rupture, the safety factor, and the quantification of mobilized mass volume, in the six suction scenarios. As a result, it is possible to conclude with the analysis that the greater the surface suction in the unsaturated soil, the greater the safety factors of the slope and the lower the probability of rupture. It is also prudent to add that the incorporation of the variability of the geotechnical parameters in the probability analysis of stability, together with the 3D modelling of the slope, allow a more reliable analysis, presenting results of greater applicability in subsequent analyses.

  • GEOMORPHIC LANDFORM DESIGN PRINCIPLES APPLIED to an ABANDONED COAL REFUSE PILE in CENTRAL APPALACHIA1 Leslie C
    Journal American Society of Mining and Reclamation, 2017 Vol.6, No.2 GEOMORPHIC LANDFORM DESIGN PRINCIPLES APPLIED TO AN ABANDONED COAL REFUSE PILE IN CENTRAL APPALACHIA1 Leslie C. Hopkinson2, Jeffrey T. Lorimer, Jeffrey R. Stevens, Harold Russell, Jennifer Hause, John D. Quaranta, Paul F. Ziemkiewicz Abstract. Geomorphic landform design is a reclamation technique that may offer opportunities to improve aspects of mine reclamation in Central Appalachia. The design approach is based on constructing a steady-state, mature landform condition and takes into account the long-term climatic conditions, soil types, terrain grade, and vegetation. Geomorphic reclamation has been applied successfully in semi- arid regions but has not yet been applied in Central Appalachia. This work describes a demonstration study where geomorphic landforming techniques are being applied to a coarse coal refuse pile in southern West Virginia, USA. The reclamation design includes four geomorphic watersheds that radially drain runoff from the pile. Each watershed has one central draining channel and incorporates compound slope profiles similarly to naturally eroded slopes. Planar slopes were also included to maintain the impacted area. The intent is to reduce infiltration rates which will decrease water quality treatment costs at the site. The excavation cut and fill volumes balanced to approximately 250,000 yd3. This volume is comparable to those of more conventional refuse pile reclamation designs. If proven successful then this technique can be part of a cost-effective solution to improve water quality at active and future refuse facilities, abandoned mine lands, bond forfeiture sites, landfills, and major earthmoving activities within the region.
