Stabilization of Slopes Using Piles. Final Report
This study is part of a project undertaken at Purdue University to develop a methodology for the design and analysis of slopes stabilized with piles. Different aspects of this problem are considered: (1) the determination of the force exerted on the piles by the slope; (2) the effect of a row of piles on the stability of a slope; and (3) simultaneous slope stability analysis and pile design to meet minimum safety requirements for both the slope and the piles. It is suggested to compute the force exerted by the piles on the slope by dividing the maximum value calculated using the theory of plastic deformation by the factor of safety of the slope. The Friction Circle Method is extended to incorporate the reaction force provided by the piles and calculate the safety factor of the reinforced slope. The displacement, bending moment, and shear force profiles along the piles are also determined. A step-by-step procedure is proposed to select the pile dimensions and reinforcement which will provide an appropriate factor of safety for the slope and insure the integrity of the piles. These results are incorporated in two computer programs which can be used iteratively to provide an optimum design solution.
