PREDICTION FOR SAFETY LEVEL OF CUTTING SLOPE FAILURE

This paper describes an estimating method for the safety of slopes along railways. The method aims at pinpointing dangerous spots in cut slopes using a rating system. The main feature of this method is a scoring process using a quantification theory, requiring objective input data. A simple seismic test and simple penetration test are conducted to produce the quantitative data. Measurements and the test apparatus are discussed.
