PROBABILISTIC STUDY OF LANDSLIDES - STABILIZATION AND DRAINAGE. PROCEEDINGS OF THE ELEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOIL MECHANICS AND FOUNDATION ENGINEERING, SAN FRANCISCO, 12-16 AUGUST 1985
ETUDE PROBABILISTE DE GLISSEMENTS - ASSAINISSEMENT
A recent probabilistic method of analyzing slope stability, which permits the modelling of progressive failure mechanism, is applied to a real case. The landslide studied was instrumented and monitored for over two years by the EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne). In April 1983, it entered a phase of very rapid acceleration which destroyed one road and obstructed the river flowing at the foot of the slope. Possible stabilization and drainage systems--protection of the river sides, drainage, and anchorage systems--were compared by means of local probability charts supplied by the method: the comparative analyses show the effect of the remedial measures. Lastly, a recent development of the method is used to determine, in probabilistic terms, the support necessary to bring the probability of local failure down to a chosen value. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 287689. (TRRL)
