After participating in this seminar, you will be able to:

Identify key issues associated with a specific slope stability problem
Obtain parameters required for site slope stability analysis
Select the method that is appropriate for a specific slope stability analysis
Conduct slope stability analysis by simple calculations and assess software results
Recommend viable options for site slope stabilization

Description
This short course provides guidance for analyzing the static stability of slopes of earth and rock-fill dams, slopes of other types of embankments, excavated slopes, and natural slopes in soil and soft rock. Methods for slope stability analysis are described and illustrated by examples and case studies. Criteria are presented for strength tests, analysis conditions, and factors of safety.

Slope stabilization methods are also discussed with an emphasis on design of stable slopes and retaining structures.

Course Outline

Basic concepts of slope stability analyses
Common methods of slope stability analysis
Design considerations for slopes
Analyze stability of natural and manmade slopes
Technologies for slope stabilization
Stability analysis of embankment dams
Retaining structures for slope stabilization

Who Should Attend
Those involved with construction-related slope stability issues, analyses and design, including:
Civil Engineers • Geotechnical Engineers • Transportation Engineers • Technicians • Geologists • City and Public Works Officials/Planners
