Wedge Stability Assessment of a High Rock Slope
The proposed excavation would begin at the top of a hill, steepen the upper natural slope, and remove a lower existing cut slope, to increase the buildable area at the toe. The final excavated slope would be over 100 meters high. Destabilizing forces include earthquake shaking that could exceed 1 g, mean annual precipitation of about 60 centimeters, and gravity. Characterization of the rock and discontinuities is described. Identification of potential failure masses is explained. Results from wedge stability calculations of the existing and proposed slopes are presented.
