    15.7 Analysis of Finite Slopes with


    Circular Failure Surfaces—General
    Modes of Failure
    • A slope failure occurs when the
    surface of sliding intersects the
    slope at or above its toe as
    shown in Figure 15.10a
    • The failure circle is a toe circle
    if it passes through the toe of the
    slope
    • If it passes above the toe of the
    slope, it is considered a slope
    circle

    Modes of Failure of Finite Slope

    • Under certain circumstances, a


    shallow slope failure can
    occur, as shown in Figure 15.10b
    • A base failure occurs when the
    surface of sliding passes at some
    distance below the toe of the
    slope
    • The failure circle in the case of
    base failure is called a midpoint
    circle

    Types of Stability Analysis Procedures


    • Various procedures of stability analysis can be divided into
    two general classes:
     Mass Procedure
     In this case, the mass of the soil above the surface of sliding
    is taken as a unit. This procedure is useful when the soil is
    assumed to be homogeneous
     Method of Slices
     The soil above the surface of sliding is divided into a number
    of vertical parallel slices. The stability of each slice is
    calculated separately. This is a versatile technique which
    accounts for nonhomogeneity of soils, pore water pressure,
    and the variation of normal stress along the failure surface

    15.8 Mass Procedure—Slopes in


    Homogeneous Clay Soil with 𝜙 = 0
    • To perform the stability
    analysis, we choose a trial
    potential curve of sliding
    • For the case of critical
    circles, the developed
    cohesion may be
    represented in a
    nondimensional form:
    𝑐𝑑
    =𝑚
    𝛾𝐻
     𝑚 is the stability number

    Mass Procedure—
    Slopes in
    Homogenous Clay
    Soil with 𝜙 = 0
    • Figure 15.12 gives the value
    of the stability number, 𝑚,
    for various slope angles, 𝛽
    • Figure 15.12 is only valid for
    slopes of saturated clay in
    undrained conditions (𝜙 = 0)

    Mass Procedure—
    Slopes in Homogenous
    Clay Soil with 𝜙 = 0
    • For 𝛽 > 53∘ , the critical circle
    is always a toe circle
    • Figure 15.13 & Table 15.1
    give the location of the
    center of these critical toe
    circles

    Mass Procedure—Slopes in Homogenous


    Clay Soil with 𝜙 = 0

    • For 𝛽 < 53∘ , the critical circle may be a toe, slope, or


    midpoint circle
    • This depends on the depth function, 𝐷:

    Vertical distance from top of slope to firm base


    𝐷=
    Height of slope
