Influence of Soft Clay on Slope Stability
Slope stability is very important on designing a safe slope. If this were to be taken lightly by the engineer, major disaster will occur that results in lost of lives. Each engineer is responsible to evaluate all aspects of design, especially when designing a slope gradient on the surface of soft clay. Soft clay containing high water content and if not planned properly, water from the soft clay will seep into the slope and causes reduction in soil strength. The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of water absorption of soft clay on the stability of the slope. The objectives of this study were to analyze the soil strength when the soil were soaked in water to a set of different time range and to analyze slope stability on soft clay based on the infiltration of water from underground using PLAXIS software. In this study, soil samples were taken and laboratory experiments were carried out to obtain the unit weight, cohesion, and friction angle of the soil samples. The experiments involved were grain size analysis test and unconfined compression test. Data from the experiments will be used in PLAXIS software to obtain the factor of safety.
