INTRODUCTION

This Slope Stability Sheet can be useful for the analysis of static stability of soil slopes like embankments,
excavated slopes, and natural slopes in soil and soft rock.
Advantages:
1. Modeling includes entering Slope height and inclination, so very useful for quick check of FOS.
2. One set of uniformly varrying distributed vertical load can be modled for analysis.
3. Fellenius Method and Bishop Method of analysis is available.
4. Bishop Method can be disabled for approx calculation to save time.
5. Soil Nails can be inculded and analysed to increase slope stability.
6. Analysis is done with or without Reinforcement.
7. Maximum of 5 Types of Soil Nail can be defined for analysis.
8. Suggestions displayed below "Calculation" Button can be used for accurate result.
9. Factor of safety for all circle analysed is stored in the "FOS" sheet for reference.
10. The Autocad script file is generated in the same folder to draw the autocad drawing containing
Profile, Soil Layers, Load data, Soil Nails and slip circles.
Limitations:
1. Seismic effect cannot be analysed.
2. Only one Load set is included in the analysis.
3. Modeling horizontal load is not available.

Length : The length of the reinforcement in meters

2. CALCULATION

The "CALCULATE" button on the "SLOPE STABILITY" sheet displays the above window on press.
Following Details are required prior to the start of analysis :

1. Center's Ordinate Limit

2. Radius Value
3. Design Method

2.01 CENTER'S ORDINATE LIMIT

The range and density of centers for the slip circle is defined here. The Range is defined as a square
as shown in the figure with minimum ordinate (Xmin, Ymin) and maximum ordinate as (Xmax, Ymax).
Ymin cannot be less than the height of the slope.

The No. of division defines the no of vertical and horizontal lines. e.g. in the given figure the number of
division would be 5.
Thus the total number of centers considered would be n x n, where n is the number of division.
Width of the wedge is the width of the slice as shown in the figure considered in the analysis. Evidently
less is the width of slice, more will be the accuracy but the calculation time would increase.

2.02 RADIUS VALUE

This parameters defines the the radious size and number of slip circle analysed for each center point.
Radius increment (d) : This accepts the incremental value of slip circle after avery analysis.
Rmin Possible : It is the radius of the circle touching the slope.
x' - Value : The minimum radious of slip circle analysed would be Rmin possible + x. x may or
may not be intiger.
Number of increments: The number of slip circle analysed of varrying radius for every defined center.

Thus the total number of slip circle analysed would be = n x n x Number of increments

2.03 DESIGN METHOD

1. FELLENIUS METHOD
2. BISHOP'S METHOD
3. INCLUDE GEOGRID

2.03.01 FELLENIUS METHOD

N = Normal Reaction perpendicular to the slip surface for each slice. ( In direction of R)
S = force parallel to the slip surface at the line of slip
This method cannot be disabled as it is required to calculate the approx FOS.

2.03.02 BISHOP'S METHOD

To solve the above equation, the initial FOS is assumed as derived from the Fellenious Method and
Desired accuracy is reached after maximum of 100 iteration. The total number of Iteration done in each
analysis is displayed in the "FOS" sheet along with FOS.

2.03.03 INCLUDE SOIL NAIL

If selected the Effect of defined Geogrid is included in the analysis. The Tention in the Reinforcement is
calculated and the resisting moment due to these reinforcement tention is found. These additional
restoring moment due to the reinforcement tention, is inroduced in above analysis by Fellenius
Method and Bishop's Method as given:
 Say there are n number of reinforcement at elevation y1, y2, .. , yn.
Tention in the Reinforcement = T1 , T2, .. , Tn

say the y-ordinate of the center of the slip circle is = Ycenter

Then the Moment of resistance due to the Reinforcement would be
∑ M = T1.(Ycenter - y1) + T2.(Ycenter - y2) + .. + T2.(Ycenter - y2)

Hence the Factor of Safety = (∑ S + ∑ M / R)/ ( ∑W sin α )

where, R : Radius of the slip circle

CALCULATING TENTION IN REINFORCEMENT /GEOGRID - (T)

The calculated tention would be minimum of following:

1. The allowable tensile capacity of Soil Nail (TT)

2. Pullout resistance Soil-Grout Interface (TSG)
3. Pullout resistance Grout-Soil Reinforcement Interface(TGR)

NOTE : THE EFFECT OF SHEAR FORCE IS NEGLIGABLE

1. The allowable tensile capacity of Soil Nail

The allowable tensile capacity, TT, of a soil nail is given by:

where, fy : Characteristic yield strength of the soil-nail reinforcement

A' : Effective cross-sectional area of the soil-nail reinforcement
FT : Factor of safety against tensile failure of soil-nail reinforcement

2. Pullout resistance Soil-Grout Interface

REINFORCEMENT PULLOUT RESISTANCE: (HA 68/69)

Where an assumed failure surface cuts a layer of reinforcement or row of soil nails, the force mobilized in
the reinforcement or nails is assumed to be the lesser of the rupture strength and the pull-out resistance of
the length of reinforcement or nails which lies beyond the failure surface. In its most general form the pull
out resistance of each layer of reinforcement is given by:

Where,
Le = Length of reinforcement type which extends beyond the critical failure mechanism.
σ’n = σ’radial
Average n
= effective stress acting on the reinforcement beyond the failure surface.
(Discussed later)
, = Design Strength parameter for the soil
FSG = Factor of safety against pullout failure at soil-grout interface

The value of ‘λp’ shall be taken as follows:

Where,
dhole = Diameter of the grout hole around the nail.
Sh = Horizontal spacing of the nail
α = Interface sliding factor =

The average radial effective stress, F’, acting along the pull-out length of a soil nail may be derived from:

Where,
σ’v = Vertical stress acting along the length.
KL = Coefficient of lateral earth pressure parallel to slope = ½ (1+Ka)
Ka = (1 - sinΦ’des)/ (1 + sinΦ’des)

3. Pullout resistance Grout-Soil Reinforcement Interface

(GUIDE TO SOIL NAIL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION - (GEOGUIDE 7))

The allowable pullout resistance provided by the grout-reinforcement bond length in
the passive zone, TGR, is given by:

where, β : Coefficient of friction at the grout-reinforcement interface, which depends on

the bar type characteristic in accordance with BS 8110 (BSI, 1997), e.g., 0.5
for high yield deformed steel bars
fcu : Characteristic strength of cement grout
Pr : Effective perimeter of the soil-nail reinforcement
L : Bond length of the soil-nail reinforcement in the passive zone
FGR : Factor of safety against pullout failure at grout-reinforcement interface (=2.0 assumed)
