Design of Rock Riprap for Bank Stabilization

Mar 07, 2012 · Rock riprap preferred Broken concrete and other rubble – must control material quality and gradation Shape – neither the width or thickness of a stone should be less than 1/3 the length Consider rock density – denser is better In terms of stability, angular rock is better than rounded Edge Treatment

etc. Every mountain or hill has its own slope stability. Gravity is the main factor for the landslides even though a trigger is a must before any landslide can occur. The landslide is a geological phenomenon where rock debris, mud falls from the slopes under the influence of …

Soil Plasticity and Expansion Potential

Figure 5 – Plasticity data for residual soils and landslides developed on the Rincon Shale plotted in red on a chart comparing PI with residual angle of internal friction, Ør, taken from Holtz and Kovacs (1985).In this plot the median values range between Ør = 26 and 31 degrees, which appear somewhat higher than might explain the observed sliding on this site.

dams, slopes of other types of embankments, excavated slopes, and natural slopes in soil and soft rock. Methods for analysis of slope stability are described and are illustrated by examples in the appendixes. Criteria are presented for strength tests, analysis conditions, and factors of safety. The criteria in this EM are to be used with ...
