Numerical analysis of an unstable slope
Numerical analysis of an unstable slope
A slope adjacent to a northbound regional motorway, outside the city of Barcelona, has shown signs of instability, which have affected the functionality of the road. An extensive instrumentation system has allowed to observe the movement of the slope and locate the slip surface in various sections. The paper presents the study of the instability phenomenon and its origin by means of 2D numerical analyses. Monitoring data has been used to validate the numerical model and to reproduce the observed slope behaviour. In the present work, the features of the numerical study are described and the results are then compared with the in-situ observations.
