SLOPE STABILITY WITH A CASE STUDY AND ITS SOLUTION

Abstract

The present work discusses the term of slope stability which is a great field of geotechnical engineering and a serious geological hazard around the world. Globally, slope failures and landslides cause billions of dollars in property damage and thousands of human fatalities and injuries annually. In Algerian north coast numerous landslides have been reported during the past four decades. It is therefore imperative that the slope problems need to be addressed urgently. The required solutions need to be comprehensive. An increased adoption of software applications helped engineers to easily analyze and understand slopes in order to obtain the proper treatment with respect to many standards. This work focuses on slope analyses by a program called Slope/W to deal with a terrain problem that takes a place on El Amir Abdelkader village, and also proposes a solution that have been designed by the software Geo 5.
