A Review on Slope Stability Analysis

Authors:- Mrittika Chakraborty, Prince Rathod

Abstract :-Slope stability analysis is a rapidly developing area of study in geotechnical engineering as it has gained importance after some major slope failure catastrophe. Providing a slope that is economical and safe is a great concern in the construction industry. A slope is considered stable if the forces available to resist the movement are greater than the force driving the movement. A number of slope failures in recent years call for slope analysis and possible preventive measures.

The paper aims to provide an overview of the research work carried out, which focuses on the factors affecting the slope stability like sudden seepage pressure, erosion, tectonic activities, etc., mechanism of the slope failure e, numerical analysis. Also, the paper aims to review the common methods to mitigate the failure.

Keywords: - Slope Stability, Slope failure, Preventive measures
