SLOPE RELIABILITY A CASE STUDY OF ALI VILLA SLOPE BAHRIA GOLF CITY

Abstract

This research comprises of analysis of Ali Villa slope at Bahria Golf City Islamabad, using Limit Equilibrium Method and Finite Element Modeling (FEM) incorporating SLIDE 6.0 and PHASE2. Slopes exposed to water tends to lose its effective strength. The colluvium on the slope comprised of broken shale and mudstone had little cohesion therefore water penetrating it caused problems. During the research work we have faced numerous challenges like deformations at site are either not monitored and if they are, the data is not extensive. Conclusions derived from the analysis of slope were that Grouted Tiebacks with Modular Block Wall as facing should be used as remedial technique along with Gabion Wall for the lower slope.
