The Stability Analyses of Unsaturated Slope Based on the Sarma Method

Abstract:

The study of unsaturated slope stability is one of issues in geotechnical engineering. Firstly, the different treatments of matric suction in the Sarma method are analyzed based on the Bishop’s unsaturated strength theory and Fredlund’s unsaturated strength theory respectively. Then, application of the developed method on the stability analyses of an unsaturated soil slope is also discussed. Through the comparison on the computational results, it still can be concluded that the computational error is slights, which analyzed by means of the developed Sarma method based on the Bishop’s unsaturated strength theory and Fredlund’s unsaturated strength theory.
