| Description | The stability of cut slopes is an evolving art in building highways in mountain areas. This chapter investigates the factors resulting in the instability of a cut slope with 57.5 m in height. The infiltrating water is an important factor inducing the instability of the cut slope because it can weaken the strength of the soil and/or rock mass of the slope, and increase the self-weight of the unstable soil/rock mass at the same time. The rock mass upper the fault, namely the hanging side of the fault, is the heavy weathered Siluric shale mass. The cracking rock mass at the heading side of the fault was proved to be related to the fault, even to be the results of the fault, such that the instability of the cut slope should be related to the fault. Water, especially ground water, is a very important bad factor affecting the stability of most cut slopes including soil and/or rock slopes. Book Name: Landslides and Engineered Slopes.
