Title: DESIGN OF CUT SLOPES IN OVERCONSOLIDATED CLAYS
Accession Number: 00371322
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The design of clay slopes for long-term stability is discussed in relation to (a) mode of failure, (b) soil test methods, (c) method of analysis, (d) selection of parameters, and (e) time dependency of stability. Failures of slopes in overconsolidated clays can be evaluated based on drained soil parameters with little groundwater drawdown below the cut face. The time dependency of slope failure is hypothesized to be a function of the Terzaghi hydrodynamic lag model. These failure criteria are evaluated for a case history of a cut slope in the western Allegheny Plateau region of New York State. (Author)
