Slope Stability with Permanent Rock Anchors
This paper presents the design and construction of permanent rock anchors for the stability of rock slope in Makkah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The project site was located over the steep hillside along the Jabal Kaaba Road. The height of the slope was 58 m. The geology of the area surrounding the site was mainly composed of granodiorite rocks. Structurally the rock formation was affected with various discontinuities and local faulting. Both field and laboratory studies were carried out. The field study involved detailed discontinuity surveys. Based on the information collected in the field and laboratory, the slope stability of granodiorite was investigated. The kinematical, limit equilibrium and numerical analysis were carried out to determine slope stability. The extensive rock anchor programme undertaken as part of the rock slope stability required the formation of double corrosion protected permanent anchors in weathered granodiorite formation.
