Profile Orientation and Slope Stability Analysis

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of soil slope stability using a terrestrial laser scanner, particle swarm optimization, and the force equilibrium method. The aim of this study was to demonstrate that a slope needed to be analyzed in many different directions in order to assess its stability conclusively, rather than using just one cross-sectional profile to represent the entire slope. To achieve this purpose, this study illustrates how a particle swarm optimization algorithm can be successfully incorporated into the analysis with slope stability analysis software, STABL. This study compares results obtained with those of previous studies and makes important observations.

Influence of Basalt Fiber-Reinforced Cement-Based Composite on Slope Stability

“…Under natural and human interferences, some instable slopes will suffer from landslide, slump, collapse, or spalling, and evolve into a geological disaster that threatens lives and properties [1][2][3]. Slope instability is mainly caused by the action of external load or the lack of internal shear strength [4][5][6]. Capable of enhancing slope stability, fiber-reinforced composite cement piles have attracted more and more attention from scholars.…”
