Thanks oldestguy. We have already determined runout angles based on the soils present at the site and we have indications of flow volumes. At the proposed wall position it wouldn't need to be any more than 2 metres high to collect the slump volume and prevent the soil mass impacting the...
Yes, we use SLIDE and US Army Corps methods to determine lateral forces required to prevent a mass from mobilising (or achieve a required FoS for a slope.
What I am trying to determine is design of a wall at the base of a slope to collect debris that has mobilised from the top of the slope...
We are the local geotech engineer, and we have run slope stability analyses to determine the volume of the failure mass. I'm interested in determining the design of a freestanding retaining wall as an option to protect the building platform from the debris flow. Normally, we'd design an...
We have considered a building platform near the base of a moderate to steep slope that has experienced past landslope instability. Soil instability is limited to silt/clay flows due to saturation.
Does anybody know of any literature with respect to determining landslide impact forces for a...
