dc.description.abstract |
Stabilization of slopes that are unstable, or that do not possess a sufficient safety margin, is a
major challenge faced by geotechnical engineers. Different techniques are adopted for the
stabilization purpose. In central Sri Lanka where a number of slope failure are reported in
periods of heavy rain, provision of effective surface and sub surface drainage would be the
main method for stabilization. In slopes where some movements have already taken place
and strength values are somewhat reduced towards the residual values, other means of
support in the form of soil nailing, or the use of retaining structures may also be needed. |
