STABILIZATION OF SLOPES USING PILES
The report presents a methodology for the design of piles or piers used to improve the stability of a slope. A step-by-step procedure is proposed to select design parameters such as pile diameter, spacing, and location which will provide an appropriate factor of safety for the slope and insure the integrity of the piles. Two computer programs are provided to perform the necessary operations. The first computer program calculates the factor of safety of the reinforced slope; the second program determines shear force, bending moment, and displacement profiles along the pile. These programs can be used iteratively to achieve an optimum design solution. (Author)
