1. Slope stabilization methods aim to ensure long-term stable slopes and control rock falls, which are important for safe transportation and development in mountainous areas.
2. Common stabilization techniques involve removing loose rock, improving drainage, and reinforcing slopes. Removal techniques reduce driving forces and include excavating unstable material, unloading weight from slopes, and grading into a stable configuration. [...] 3. Drainage methods involve establishing catchment areas and installing mesh and barriers to contain loose rocks. Reinforcement is achieved through techniques like benching, resloping, applying lightweight fill, and adding counter berms for stability. Selection depends on site conditions and hazards.

on any disturbed soil surface, as it is much easier to prevent erosion than to fix an already eroded slope. Methods 2 used to control surface erosion or stabilize slopes can be used alone or as components of a system. Mechanical slope stabilization methods can also be used alone or in conjunction with plants (biotechnical stabilization). Earthwork techniques can be used to make slope surface less likely to erode and more stable. (The conclusion provides tabular summaries of soil bioengineering [...] Reinforced Soil Slopes Reinforced soil slopes (RSS) can generally be steeper than conventional unreinforced slopes because geosynthetics (geogrids and geotextiles are both common) provide tensile reinforcement that allows slopes to be stable at steeper incli-nations. The design methods for RSSs are conservative, so they are more stable than flatter slopes designed to the same safety factor (Elias et al. 2001). RSSs offer several advan-tages over MSE walls: backfill soil requirements are usually [...] silt fences, and chemical soil stabilizers. The Soil Bioengineering and Bio-technical Techniques section defines these two techniques and provides a review of treatments on the topic, including the use of live stakes, fascines, crib walls, gabions, and rock walls in a combination of vegetation and structures to stabilize slopes. The next section, Mechanical Stabili-zation Techniques, defines this topic and provides infor-mation on retaining walls, mechanically stabilized earth and

Chapter 8 Design and Construction of Soil Slopes David S. Gedney and William G. Weber, Jr. The design of stable slopes in soil has been extensively studied by engineers and geologists. In recent years, sub-stantial advancements have been made in understanding the engineering characteristics of soils as they relate to stability. Chapters 6 and 7 describe the state of the art re-garding the determination of pertinent soil parameters and the recommended approaches to engineering analysis. These [...] environment in which they are found, each slope design is different. Second, the basic mechanics applied to estimate the stability of a cut slope in soil are the same as those used to estimate the stability ofa fill slope. Third, finding the correct method of stability analysis solves only part of the design problem. Designing a stable slope includes field in-vestigation, laboratory investigation, and construction con-trol. The details involved in this work cannot be standard-ized because [...] forces Stability analysis must be performed to ensure proper use and placement area of lightweight materials Stability analysis is required to determine soil-pile force system for safe design Study must be made of in situ soil shear strength; economics of method is function of anchor depth and frequency Laboratory study of soi 1-chemica I treatment must precede field installation Methods are experimental and costly where a section of 1-205 required extensive excavation to depths as great as 70

stage. Stress transfer is mainly by passive resistance on the anchor, which Stabilization of Soil Slopes 461 implies that the system provides stability in the same manner as tied-back retaining structures and thus may not be a true reinforced-soil system (Mitchell and Villet 1987). However, the system is discussed here because it is analogous in placement technique to other methods of soil reinforcement in embankrnents and fills. The concept of earth-anchor reinforcement was developed and [...] of procedures have been developed that increase the resisting forces at the toe of a p0- 452 Landslides: Investigation and Mitigation - - FIGURE 17-12 Rock 'buttress used to stabilize unstable slope (Gedney and Weber 1978). tentially sliding soil mass. These include various methods of adding mass to the toe areas, various structural retention systems to deflect or redirect the driving forces, and a variety of earth matérial reinforcement systems. Although reinforced soil structures may be used [...] drawback to the use of relatively stiff structural elements for slope stabilization is that they are not able to tolerate much movement. Consequently, elemental systems such as crib walls, gabion walls, and the various soil reinforcement sys-tems are becoming increasingly more common. Figure 17-13 summarizes the current methods of earth retention; the methods are divided into two groups depending on whether they provide exter-nal or internal stabilization. Examples of both types of systems are

Figure 11.4 Continued. (Adapted from Gray & Leiser, 1982) LOW-VOLUME ROADS BMPS: 112 For low to high walls in many geographic areas today, Mechani-cally Stabilized Earth (MSE), or “Reinforced Soil” structures are the least expensive type of wall available. They are simple to build, and often they can use on-site granular backfill material. They are commonly constructed using layers of geotextile or welded wire placed in lifts 15 to 45 cm apart in the soil, thus adding tensile re-inforcement to [...] PRACTICES TO AVOID • Constructing vertical cut slopes (except in very well cemented soils and rock).
• Road locations and con-struction practices where the toe of the fill ends up in the creek. Do not use side-cast fill placement methods on steep slopes next to streams.
• Placing fills or “side-casting” materials on natural ground slopes steeper than 60%.
• Road locations in areas of known instability.
• Leaving cut slopes and, par-ticularly, fill slopes barren and exposed to erosion. [...] • Remove organic surface material, construct a toe bench, and bench the natural ground surface on slopes of 40-60% before the fill is placed over the native soil (Figure 11.2b) to prevent a “sliver fill” failure at the contact of the native soil and fill. Once a fill failure occurs on a steep slope, a retaining structure or reinforced fill is typically needed for repairs (Photo 11.10).
