Translational ()
Landslide

So the exact force cannot be

calculated
Why
exact force cannot be calculated??
Because force depend on Weight.
Ok then??
Weight can be calculated by
Only depth of failure can be known.
Area of failure is not known

Area which fails is unknown

Infinite Slope Failure Analysis

or
Stability analysis of Infinite Slope

We
calculate
1. Maximum Driving Shear Force Acting
on Soil
2. Maximum Resisting Shear Force on Soil
As per the BS 6039
. Factor of Safety
. If Factor of Safety > 1 then Safe
. BS 6039 says for stable slope:
Factor of Safety > 1.5

Calculation of Driving Shear

Stress
an area A fails in land-slide
Assuming

So Driving shear stress will be

Driving shear force will be

Normal Force will be

Calculation of Resisting shear Stress

shear resistance:
Mohr-Coulombs

Resisting shear stress =

Where is the cohesiveness of soil is the angle of
internal friction of soil

= Normal stress
Normal Force =
Resisting Shear Force

Factor of Safety for infinite

slope
Factor

of Safety
Factor of Safety
For a clayey soil, in which, the
equation above reduces to:

When water-table is above slipsurface

As the water dont flow, so:

Only Water normal pressure
on soil
So Driving shear stress will
be
[same]
Normal Force will be

Normal Stress will be

Calculation of Resisting shear Stress

Mohr-Coulombs

shear resistance:
Resisting shear stress =
Where is the cohesiveness of soil
is the angle of internal friction of soil

= Normal stress [due to water it will

change]

Factor of Safety for infinite slope

when there is water-table
Factor

For a clayey soil, in which, the

equation above reduces to:

Numerical
For the infinite slope shown in figure
below determine the factor of safety
against sliding along the soil-rock
interface.

Finite slope failure analysis

Two
method of analysis:
1. Effective stress analysis Method
Used mostly for the Clayey Soil, i.e.
2. Total stress analysis Method
Used for all type of soils

We will study only the clayey

soil because the slopes are
generally made of clayey soils.

Finite Slope Failure Analysis

or
Stability analysis of Finite Slope
We
calculate
1. Maximum Driving Shear Moment Acting
on Soil
2. Maximum Resisting Shear Moment on Soil
As per the BS 6039
. Factor of Safety
. If Factor of Safety > 1 then Safe
. BS 6039 says for stable slope:
Factor of Safety > 1.5

About a Finite slope Failure

Here

we know the length of failure

plane
Width of the plane not known, So we
assume 1m wide, soil.
Area of slip-surface =

Resisting Shear Moment

Mohr-Coulombs

shear resistance:
Resisting shear stress =
Where is the cohesiveness of soil
is the angle of internal friction of soil

= Normal stress
If
Then Resisting shear stress =
Resisting shear Force ()

Driving shear Moment

Driving

shear moment
W - Weight of the soil-mass.
- distance of Centre of gravity from
O.
We uses method of slice.
