Back Analysis and Solution of Slope Instability in Algeria: Case Study
Back Analysis and Solution of Slope Instability in Algeria: Case Study
During the construction of a pumping station in Elbouira Zone, a landslide was observed due to the high cut slope in the weak clay deposits over sand base. The slip surface appears behind the station as cracks and creep towards the station. Back analysis using FEM was run to calculate the horizontal force required for the slope stability and optimizing a vertical piling solution. This paper documents the investigation conducted to understand the ground conditions and the unstable surfaces shapes, the analysis to identify the potential reasons for the instability, and the proposed solutions to stabilize the affected region
