Length: 27 pages
This course provides an in-depth exploration of the critical concepts and methodologies essential for ensuring the stability of slopes in geotechnical engineering. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of slope failure mechanisms, the principles behind slope stability analysis, and the various methods used to evaluate and mitigate potential slope failures.
This course will cover both theoretical and practical aspects, with a strong emphasis on the application of limit equilibrium and finite element methods. Participants will also learn about various slope stabilization techniques, including the use of retaining walls, soil nails, ground anchors, and geosynthetics. Real-world case studies will be presented to provide insight into common challenges and solutions in slope stability projects.
Additionally, the course will offer hands-on experience with industry-standard software tools like SLIDE and FLAC, enabling participants to set up and analyze slope stability models effectively.
