Expansive soil slope analysis of KPK through SV Slope software
Project Area of Specialization Software EngineeringProject SummaryDuring the research of expansive soil in slope stability it is identified that it seriously effect the safety of the project which leads to great losses and environmental damages so we are going to find the risk assessment of expansive soil in slope stability. How the landslides mechanism occur and it cause damage to the roads, and the embankment fails during the rainy seasons, it all happens because expansive soil change its properties with changing in weather seasons so for that we will identify all the safety factors to reduce the environmental and construction damages along with providing effective recommendations based on the analysis of Geotechnical engineering. During the process treatment of landslide in expansive soil area, the influence factors of expansive soil slope stability should be clarified, Rainfall is the main cause of shallow sliding damage of expansive soil slope. slope safety factor reduces with increasing rainfall intensity, and the permeability function has little impact on the slope safety factor, Construction technology and management level also have a great impact on slope stability during the construction process, such as atmospheric wetting drying cycles, the control of moisture content and degree of compaction.
Project ObjectivesOBJECTIVES OF PROJECTS:
The basic reasons for studying and analysing expansive soil is;
1.To determine various properties of expansive soil from different locations of kpk
2.To obtain crucial information about slope stability
3.To perform slope stability analysis using SV slope software
3.Analysing the existing slope sing various techniques
3.Recommending solutions for the slope failure due to expansive soil.
Project Implementation MethodDuring the research of expansive soil in slope stability it is identified that it seriously effect the safety of the project which leads to great losses and environmental damages so we are going to find the risk assessment of expansive soil in slope stability. How the landslides mechanism occur and it cause damage to the roads, and the embankment fails during the rainy seasons, it all happens because expansive soil change its properties with changing in weather seasons so for that we will identify all the safety factors to reduce the environmental and construction damages along with providing effective recommendations based on the analysis of Geotechnical engineering. During the process treatment of landslide in expansive soil area, the influence factors of expansive soil slope stability should be clarified, Rainfall is the main cause of shallow sliding damage of expansive soil slope. slope safety factor reduces with increasing rainfall intensity, and the permeability function has little impact on the slope safety factor, Construction technology and management level also have a great impact on slope stability during the construction process, such as atmospheric wetting drying cycles, the control of moisture content and degree of compaction. We can stabilize the failure of the expansive soil slope by different methods traditionally and non traditionally, further there are different categories in it like mechanically stabilization and chemically stabilization. Further more we can also recommend the different techniques for stability of the slope by providing the soil reinforcement, anchoring and compaction. We can also stabilize the expansive soil by use marble industrial waste as a stabilizer.
Benefits of the ProjectThe project we are having in hands right now it to study and analyse slope stability of expansive soil by using sv-slope software by
Collecting soil sample from different locations in kpk (kohat ,karak, bannu, charsadda, nowshehra)
Performing test on soil sample to know its properties
When the soil’s identified conducting test to determine the various input parameters (poisson’s ratio, unit weight ,cohesion, angle of internal friction) vales
The vales of the inputs are given to the software which in return finds out for how table the slope of that area would be.
The purpose of or project is to know the slope stability ,provide solutions to improve expansive soil and also to introduce new techniques for finding slope stability using SV slope software.
