The
research was conducted to study the slope stability for a
residential community which is located in the central Taiwan
area. The study area is categorized as hill-side topography in
Hsuei-Li township where earth movements such as land-slide and
mudflow are of great concern regarding the casualty and property
loss due to natural disasters including 921 earthquake and
floods.
The research was carried out using numerical analysis with soil
mechanical parameters determined from in-situ subsurface
explorations and the results from installed field monitoring
system and geological evaluations. Once the areas with
vulnerable geological conditions were identified, further
investigation using FLAC and STABL was conducted under 3
conditions (normal, storm, earthquake) to obtain adequate
information for suitable design of slope stability
construction. Results of the study suggest that earth anchor,
slippery-resistance pile and drainage well are the most
effective factors for increasing the safety
factor of the slope stability in the study area.
In summary, the results of the study are listed below:(1) The
sub-grade in the study area consists of 3 major strata: first,
Coluvium deposit (γt=1.9g/cm3, c'=49.2KN/m2, '=34.4° ), second,
Shale with silty sand (γt=2.95g/cm3, c'=9.3KN/m2, '=26.1° ), and
third, Shale (γt=2.95g/cm3, c'=340KN/m2, ' =22° ). (2) Results
of the inclinometer monitoring revealed that the entire slope in
the study area exhibit a movement towards southwest direction
and (3) with a constant accurate rate of 0.1-1 mm per day.(4) By
considering safety factor, economy, construction, landscape and
ecology, the slippery-resistance pile is suggested for the slope
stability design with a supplementary drainage well installed
next to the existing drainage ditch, and (5) Earth anchor is
recommended with the drainage well for the slope stability
design when only the
economic reason is considered. |
