Slope Stability Design

Cover Soil Drainage

Well designed drainage is a key consideration in slope stability analysis. This video outlines the factors that need to be taken into account to ensure veneer slope stability with a sufficient factor of safety.

Pozidrain G is a product range designed to provide enhanced interface friction along with continuous drainage across the whole area.

Designing Stable Slopes requires the use of geosynthetics

Designing Stable Slopes – The design of slopes needs to take account of a number or parameters for construction and long term stability

Geosynthetics capping design may need to take into account gas venting, a barrier, surface water drainage and cover material

Multi Layered Systems – A capping design may need to take into account gas venting, a barrier, surface water drainage and cover material

Good drainage design using geosynthetics is key to the stability of veneer slopes, and avoids the risks of saturation

Slope Stability Design – Good drainage design is key to the stability of veneer slopes, and avoids the risks of saturation

Geocomposites for drainage is important in slope stability design

Testing Requirements – The interfaces between layers and internal shear properties all affect the design

Standard Flow Capacity Test

This technical paper published by Ground Engineering investigates the importance of the in-plane flow capacity test for geocomposite drainage layers and the effect this has on slope stability. Click the image to download the paper.
