Slope Stability And Stabilization Methods -

Planting trees to absorb groundwater and anchor the earth.

Slope stability is the study of whether a soil or rock slope can support its own weight and external loads without sliding. When the driving forces (gravity, water pressure) exceed the resisting forces (friction, cohesion), the slope fails. 📉 Why Slopes Fail Slope stability and stabilization methods

Removing soil from the top to reduce driving force. 2. Hydrological Methods (Drainage) Planting trees to absorb groundwater and anchor the earth

Wire baskets filled with rocks that allow drainage while providing mass. 4. Biological Methods or heavy machinery at the crest.

Creating "steps" to catch falling debris and manage runoff.

High saturation increases weight and reduces friction. Slope Geometry: Steeper angles are naturally more unstable.

Buildings, traffic, or heavy machinery at the crest.
